I've been pleased to = join this mailing list for technical discussions.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I work as a piano technician in São = Paulo, Brazil and I have some questions concerning the phenomenon of inharmonicity. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My doubt is:  "why" - = scientifically speaking - low-tension scales offer higher inharmonicity than = high-tension scales? And how does stiffness of wire interfere on this fact? I was led = to believe that the higher the tension, the higher the inharmonicity due to = the stiffness of wire in a high tension string, but I was advised it is not true.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Could you please clarify this fact for me?<BR> I'll be really grateful for replyings.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Djalma Carvalho - Brazil<BR></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
