<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't care much for the term false beats
or false strings either. For want of a better word I just refer to them as
rotten or wild when explaining to an owner that their untamed savage beast is
afflicted with this condition. Perhaps we should ask our European
counterparts what terminology they use to describe the phenomenon. (hi Andre,
Stephane, Karl etc.). Sometimes other languages have words for concepts that
don't exist in English. To me the concept of a string as being wild or untamed
is more appropriate in describing the condition. False refers to something that
is artificial which it is not and real refers to something that is genuine, but
that is not the case either; it shouldn't be there in the first place, so it is
an imposter.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

be correct about the real/false semantics, I'd hold off on pressing it, at
least until you've found the cure. Otherwise we could solve the whole
problem right now by renaming it "vibrato". Problem solved!</BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Not really since a vibrato is a vibratory system
(voice) producing a single pitch of continuous variation rather than a beat
resulting from interference between pitches which leads me back
to yadayadayada...:-). My original point was the possible confusion and
misleading nature of the use of "false" which if we say is "real" then it
leads us to an analysis of frequency interference (real beating). I don't mean
to press it but to become a nag about it! We do need some clarity of language;
whether this is the clearest language is still moot, but I offer it as a
talking point.</FONT></DIV>
