He had a point and I am sure that its helpful for those of us who happen too be grammattically challenged. It was really the comment re: wippens that set me off and I didn't want to pollute the list with piano related stuff........ Journal article indeed!!...as if that was engraved on a rock somewhere just because some tech wrote an article whose *opinion* was 'wippen' rather then 'whippen'. The "Official" (as official as anything gets in PTG) nomenclature book that Merle and Newton and Etc. put together declares that either spelling is correct with wippen being the most common......don madder though cause it gots fo odder names for them there thingees. :-) little jimmy bryant, trp
