<p><br>Well, I dont know about you Ron, but I hear the 5th above C88 (ie,
the 3rd partial of C7) with no trouble at all, and I be dogwargled and
behoundled if I cant discern the 3rd partial of F7 or even G7 on certain
instruments.
<p>All that being said... let me make something clear about Mr Janghanns
text. It is refered to by Fenner, as the standard text available today
on the subject matter, but that doesnt mean that Fenner is in aggreement
with him. Any more then we hold White up to be the gospel on the matter.
I gather Janghanns text is a bit dated, and as far as I can see Fenner
takes issue on many of the same points both you and Del do.
<p>I have only an 8 page lecture to from Fenners class here in Bergen.
The best thing would be for someone to translate his whole book to English.
