<html><div>Not to beat this one to death, but how about analyzing the scale to determine when to change from all tri's to tri's/flats, to flats?  That is, see where the tension maybe begins to decrease; or at the note that changes to the next lighter wire diameter, to help you determine when to make your change in damper felt.</div> <br> <div>At 11:54 PM 3/25/99 -0600, you wrote:</div> <br> <div>>The only other criteria I've come up with is to try to</div> <div>>position the transitions between double trichords, trichord and pad, and two</div> <div>>pad configurations to try to blend the damping efficiency up through the</div> <div>>treble so there isn't a big difference in damping rate (I almost said</div> <div>>"leakage") at the transitions.
