André, among others, i offered my tuning concept also to Yamaha back in 1988. They refused their interest by stating they have similar patents (though i never found such in the patent publication list) So there may still be some possibility that your protocols may have been influenced from my work... JOKE! It is nonsense to trace back who influenced who 15 years after a publication in a spezialized journal and my public material on my homepage, which was publicly available there since 1991 in german and in english. I never accused you (André) using some of my tuning concepts. In contrary, i would appreciate if you would do so. It was Richard Brekne who brought your name into the older P12 priority discussion, and i just have responded that there may be a possibility that you have been influenced by my publication, as we talked about my tuning concept on a Mensurix seminar in Amsterdam, hold around in 1996 or 1997 i don´t remeber exactly, where i was invited by your former colleague Arnold Duin. But apparently this was not the path but it really doesn´t matter. On request of Richard Brekne, i state hereby that it was never my intention to accuse him using my tuning concept in some illegal way. My intention was to inform him, that the tuning concept he proposed with his implementation of a nineteenth root of three temperament has a clear prior art in my tuning concept dating back to 1988, so his contributions should not be used in terms of a proprietary concept of his own, even if he developped it on his own finally. It is in the responsibility of any author to do some research for prior art if he decides to shout out a new idea to the public to avoid such embarrassements. Richard called me yesterday by phone to end our dispute, but with the confirmation of André, it seems he to want to continue this never ending soap opera :-) Regards Bernhard Stopper Am 10.03.2009 um 01:13 schrieb andré oorebeek: > > On Mar 9, 2009, at 10:38 PM, Richard Brekne wrote: > >> How much one can trace any of this back to your influence on André >> is not for me to say. > > Richard, I clearly remember talking about certain intervals at that > really nice seminar in your hometown Bergen in Norway. > I had learned them from the Yamaha technicians in Japan. > > OOR > > friendly greetings > from > André Oorebeek > > Antoni van Leeuwenhoekweg 15 > 1401 VW, Bussum > the Netherlands > > tel : +31 35 6975840 > gsm : +31 652 388008 > > www.concertpianoservice.nl > > "where Music is, no harm can be" > > > > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
