<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>To the list.<BR>My English may be =
poor in order
to explain why I think that the middle strings are the <BR>better in =
order to
you do a temperament.<BR>When you use a rubber to mute the right side =
string,
you may use this mute rubber in two <BR>directions:<BR>1 – Put the =
rubber
from right to left and the rubber will be behind the right side string =
or<BR>2
– put the rubber from left to right and the rubber will be over =
the right
side string.<BR> (to the left side string, =
change
the directions)<BR> On the two cases the rubber forces the side string =
from or
to the plate and the string will be <BR>in a different plane from the =
middle
string. YOU NEVER FORCE THE MIDDLE <BR>STRING.<BR>So the middle string =
will be
always in the same plane and this is a very good condition!<BR>My old =
German
teacher said: always forces the side strings to the plate in order to =
maintain
<BR>the plane of the middle string free from the plane of the side =
strings. ( In some cases, if you <BR>forces the side string from the =
plate, the
plane of this string is in front of the plane of the <BR>middle string =
and the
hammer can’t to strike the string well!).<BR>In all cases =
when you
pull the mute rubber from the place where it was muting the string, =
<BR>the
string come to this original plane and....... MAY BE OUT OF TUNNING. =
<BR>Because
of this, in some pianos the PAP’S mute is very useful because it =
don/t
forces the <BR>side string to or from the plate. This is all.<BR>I would =
like to
read this in a very good English!</FONT> </DIV>
