I have, and reported what I experienced. Sorry it doesn't correspond 
with your opinion.

No, just a sensible reply. Sure, you acknowledged it, followed by a 
general limitation of short pianos as a reason to use trichords, 
followed by the absence of permission to redesign used as a 
justification that there is a "place" for trichords under certain 
circumstances - like when you have no permission to redesign and have no 
choice, which you didn't acknowledge.

That's OK with me too, if this can be done in a straightforward factual 
manner.

Note, please, how I haven't preached on how every choice you have made 
in redesign is in dire danger of going too far, or not far enough, and 
screwing up some nebulous tonal criteria I currently think is desirable. 
Are you still using spring rate to dimension ribs with downbearing load 
analysis, or is that wrong now too?

My mistake. I had this vague impression you were bashing everything I 
said I do pretty much point by point. Wrong again, I guess.
