Scaling (Warning! Tongue in cheek)

Hi Kristinn,
Sure does, and the speaking lengths, and the wire sizes, and the wrap sizes
and maybe the strike point, but I'm not sure about that. With measurements
of all the speaking lengths, wire diameters, wrap diameters, and a scaling
program or spreadsheet, it's easy to look at the graphed inharmonicity
curve and match the graphed discontinuities to what you aurally find in the
piano. At least you get to see *why* you can't tune it the way you'd like,
even if you can't fix it without tearing the piano apart.
