Look at the attached picture.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't think all Bluthners have this = separate bridge for aliquots (ans some Bluthners have no aliquots at all, just = 3 string unisons like most other pianos). Anyway, if the aliquot length is the = same as the length of the 3 strings then it should be tuned to the same pitch.</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> Calin Tantareanu</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
