> Is this "pitch change" an actual phenomenon in > pianos or an > artifact of sampling in the computer? I think the reason is mostly from piano.A piano is such a complicated vibrating system,constructed by more than 200 strings(all of them have been stretched more or less),a soundboard(might have cracks or loosed ribs),two or three bridges(may have loosed bridge pins or bad notches)and....,all of these components interactive together and contribute to a "chaos" vibration.So even the most decent concert piano may have a few notes with noticeble "false beats". Tunelab,as well as other ETDs, are very sesitive devices,which will show the smallest pitch deviation. >If it is the > former, > what should you use for tuning? You can either shift to another string of the same union,or you can try to get rid of the false beats before you tune it. Baoli __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
