Sorry John. This isn't some wild hair notion I cooked up on my 
own. It's the best evidence I could find out there among real 
engineering sources. This doesn't have my ego wrapped up in it 
anywhere. As I have said repeatedly, if you have an 
authoritative source that says modern music wire stretches in 
the long term under the conditions found in real pianos, I'd 
love to see it. It would make life so much easier to be able 
to blame the wire for everything.

But then I'd be at a loss as to why low panel compression rib 
supported soundboards with laminated bridge caps stay in tune 
so much better than traditionally built panel supported boards 
with solid caps, using the same ever stretching wire. And no, 
that's not my wild hair notion either, but is reported by 
techs I've done belly work for.

what sort of wire do you think they were dealing with, for 
heavens' sake?!  Of course you did not read it.

Apparently not, but then patents have been issued for 
perpetual motion machines, which might cast some doubt as to 
it's being a credible information source. I'll wait for the 
diversionary chaff to clear and see if a real echo appears on 
the screen.
