Hi Lists, We recently measured string heights on a Steinway B and Yamaha G2. An astute assistant noticed that on both pianos the highest note (pitch-wise) in the tenor was higher than the lowest note in the tenor (more than can be explained by the gradual decrease in wire diameters, were the agraffes all level) and that the lowest note in the capo (pitch-wise) was higher than the highest note (C8). Is it just a coincidence that we happen to measure two very different pianos with this same set-up, or is there an overarching design reason for this (making it a goal by design shared by many manufacturers)?
