This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment David's post on the amazingly stable Kawai grand triggered this post--specifically that it had high treble false beats in an acustically live room. I recently tuned a 60's era spinet that was way out of wack. The customer wanted to know if it was a "keeper" or whether she should start saving for a new piano. Ignoring the obvious and prejudicial answer, I said that we'd have to see how it sounds after repairs and tuning. After bridge repairs, two new strings, a 120+ cent pitch raise and two tuning passes, it sounded amazingly not-so-bad. I told her so and she agreed. As the discussion was rather in depth and she wanted me to be frank--Frank Who? one might ask--I did point out that there were false beats in the upper treble. She asked me to demonstrate, and I did. This was her reaction: "Well, that's just a bonus: extra vibrato." So you see, we should have been promoting the positive side of this phenomenon all along! Alan R.
