Hi Stephen Very interesting to watch the c64 bridge avi. I ran this through extra slow motion on my viewer and for the life of me I can not see hardly any downward deflection at the bridge pin by the string. The strings upward motion at the pin (and immediatly away from it as well) is quite obvious to see, but if you mark the initial position of the string, it never seems to go below that plane. More then likely some effect from the angle.... or.. ? It would be nice to see this same shot from a perpendicular angle to the string on the string plane. Cheers RicB The ftp server on my usual website is out of action at the moment, so best go to the mirror site I have. The high-speed stuff is at http://fortepianos.com/high%20speed%20imaging.htm Note carefully the instructions given for getting your system set up to play these. The compression is extreme (each video starts raw at 500MB and compressed to about 5MB) to make them manageable files, so you'll need to get the correct video codec installed if you don't already have it.
