Bøsendorfers, was : Buttressed Arch. Question for Ron N. - increasing rim density

[Ric Brekne]

Hey there Bill.  Thanks...er I think.. <G> for the backwelcomst. Always 
nice to know one is loved and admired !

Yes, the rim impedance question is seperate from the buttressed arch 
bit, but I noticed that the last few posts on the thread moved in that 
direction tagged increasing rim density and just wanted to follow up on 
that a bit.

Its an interesting bit the overall density of the system to the strings 
visa vi localization of density in componets. Given the Bosies solution, 
one would be tempted to consider that rock hard rims are not a 
neccessity for good tone at all.... depending of course on whatelse one 
does.  Its the <<what else one does>> that would be interesting to hear 
about in the context of this thread.

Cheers
RicB

The rim impedance question is a different one from the buttressed  
arch question, right? Welcome back from vacation, Ric. (We missed  
you, but not in the way might think. <G>)
