<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>I think what Roger was referring to
was that if strings are not level, (or hammers not mated to strings properly)
that the individual strings of a unison will be struck at slightly different
times, resulting in the vibrations of those strings being slightly "out of
phase" with one another. That is, the strings start making their noise at
slightly different times.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style" size=2>Picture a sine curve (for
example). Now picture three sine curves perfectly on top of one
another. That would be the three strings of the unison "in phase" with
each other. Now take one or more of these curves and shift it slightly
left or right. That curve is now "out of phase" with the others.
Creates all kinds of voicing issues - weak sounds, false sounds,
etc.</FONT></DIV>
