I've been going back and re-reading Paul P's posts about piano string inharmonicity. Paul recently said that the effects of inharmonicity should be neglible on...

SCORDATURA is a new Mac OSX sound font software synthesizer and custom control surface design tool created for microtonal composition and performance,...
... Are the walter bass strings wound? If not, the diameters aren't directly comparable, correct? But no doubt the inharmonicity of modern instruments is ...
... I looked at a sample of a steel-string guitar (a cheap strat copy) in a spectrogram once. It was definitely inharmonic, the 3:1 being a few cents off. I...
... I have a friend that plays viola and violin (as well as other instruments). He says that stretched octaves are required in doubled octaves in pieces of the...
Any physics types want to comment on the idea of using ribbons instead of strings in a piano? Is the total cross sectional area all that matters, regardless...
... No. The first few notes are usually "red" brass (90 Cu, 10 Z) and the rest up to D or D# are brass. Wound strings don't appear in the Viennese tradition...
... Right on right on Brother Carl!! So true of so much psychoacoustic research. In this particular aspect, the critical factor is of course tonal memory. When...
... Presumably Tom's taking care of that by including the Young's modulus. Or rather, he didn't, and that can only be good for modern instruments. ... Right,...
... Ah-ha! Maybe that's why oh so much modern double-stopped playing sounds so hideously out-of-tune to me. ;-) Reminds me of the time that a friend of mine, a...

... Difficult to say. The modern piano is such a different beast in its design. When he was talking about notes in the tenor, it really depends on where in the...
