Longitudinal Calculations

[Joseph Garrett]

core wire and 0.55 mm wound wire,
    resulting to a longitudinal match of 15/1. this key sounds good, i think
you
    agree with that.
    Hmmmm? First of all, what the hell is a "B-211"? Secondly, how can one
have
    a wrap diameter less than that of the core? Are you referring to the
".055mm
    wound wire" as the size of the wire used to wrap on a core wire? A quick
    calc of this makes it .37/.146 for that string. IMO that would sound
like
    crap, given the length of approximately 40" and not knowing what the
other parameters of the piano are. (I should tell you, I HATE
    metric. It makes absolutely no sense to me at all. And I resent having
to
    "convert" it!) (with strings, we are talking about a "machinist's" job.
    Therefore use "machinist's" measurements, please.)
