OT: New Achievements in Word Salads / Monochord Strings

[Lesher, Trent J.]

Hi Isaac,
 
Thanks for the clarification.  I thought maybe I was being subjected to some piano-list hazing ritual <G>.  I thought I'd outsmart your mischief by going to a translation site.  Silly me.  Here's what came back, cut and pasted exactly as I got it:
 
from http://world.altavista.com/ Babel Fish:
You will like Cà, if you have an answer when with the cord for this monocorde, me I tested but Minimens is blocked in mode demonstration (not C3, 4 or whatever). In any case the level of documentation of the sior Lester is more than correct! Friendships. Isaac
 
So I thought I'd try again...
 
from http://ets.freetranslation.com/ <http://ets.freetranslation.com/> :
Cà will please you, if you have a response when to the rope for this monocorde, me I tried but Minimens is blocked in method démo (not any C3, 4 or whatever).  In any case the documentation level of the sieur To Ballast is more more more than more correct!  Friendships..  Isaac
 
That was much clearer, I thought.
 
I wasn't sure which wire I mentioned you thought couldn't take the tension at C3, but I'll wait 'til your Minimens (?) is working again.  One thing, I didn't account for any major mass differences between modern piano wire and the Malcolm Rose stuff; I realized afterwards that I just assumed they were both in the same ballpark.
 
Trent
(a.k.a. The Sieur To Ballast)

		 Hello Lester, I am amazed on your documentation level. I tried to compute something workable but could not at this time (trying to find a correct match with soft wire) the tension may be too high to use piano wire as you state (around 600 N for a poor breaking strain level)
		 
		The precedent post was intended to be send privately, sorry for the wrong button.
		 
		best Regards.
