David,
I must take exception to this technique! Although, it will work most of =
the time on most Olde Uprights and Grands, there is always the =
exception. This technique is archaic, to say the least. There are better =
ways. The 32% in the upper treble will most likely get someone in a =
world of hurt! Most strings, in that area, are already at/above 50% of =
their breaking strength!!! You raise it another 32% and strings will =
break, IMO. I've done some studying on the subject and wrote an article =
for the PTJ, in Dec. 1999.
