<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Ron,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In this case the piano needed the =
strings ( don't
know a term for relaxing the little non kink )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>as we did a pitch raise first of 30
cents.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do this at or very near pitch as I do =
not want to
have my work be of no value. In other words seating the strings and then =
doing a
big pitch raise puts the string back in the need of having the kink put =
back
in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Its a need more to get the kink and the =
string
running as straight as possible to the next termination point than to =
settle the
string on the bridge.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope my intentions are clear. It is a =
little hard
for me to explain.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think Ron's point is that string =
seating is
likely of little if any benefit (at least long term) to false =
beat
reduction. If you isolate the two procedures, you can better evaluate =
how each
procedure affects the outcome. Perhaps a similar benefit will occur =
from CA
application alone.</FONT></DIV>

<BR>> David I.<BR>> <BR>>>> Hi all,<BR>>>> =
Today
marked the taming of one of the worst false beating pianos, an
<BR>>>> Everett console.<BR>>>> No unison from C5 to =
the top
had any single string without a real shudder<BR>>>> when the =
unison
was tuned. To liken it to a Calliope would insult that =
<BR>>>>
instrument,<BR>>>> With the help of my tipper, string seater, =
and two
passes with CA the <BR>>>> unisons are now clear and
strong,<BR>>>> I was not supprised to find that after seating =
the
upper treble was <BR>>>> flat, but after the CA was applied, =
a little
sharp. This seems to happen <BR>>>> regurally when I do the =
CA thing
on false beats.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>>Joe,<BR>>>Next =
time, in the
interest of education, try the CA without seating <BR>>>anything =
and see
what you get.<BR>>>Ron N</FONT> </BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
