Isaac, I wasn't looking for precise data exactly, I just wanted some differentiation between real information and "I heard" rumors and speculation. This post cleared a lot of that up. Thank you. >Where do you see possible problems, the deformation of the metal occur >anyway, it may be better to have it done while the strings are new and >stronger, than to add new kinks and work while pitch raising again and >again the piano during the first years of use. Not necessarily, and that's one of the points. Force stretching strings isn't necessarily, or even reasonably assumed to be equivalent to letting them settle naturally without being unnecessarily abused. Also, inherent in this process is the assumption that continually stretching strings is the principal reason for the need for more tunings when a piano is new. That is, again, not necessarily the case. >Nowadays even if that >sound esoteric, it may be evaluated seriously. > > >Best Regards. > >Isaac OLEG It doesn't sound esoteric at all, but it does sound presumptuous. And evaluating it seriously is exactly what I was and am attempting to do. Ron N
