Piano size[edit]

In the shortest of pianos, where strings are short and wire stiffness is proportionately high, the stretch required for overall sonority is extreme; concert grand pianos require far less stretch.

Only the low strings are necessarily shorter in smaller pianos. Mireut 20:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is true. The article should be easy to amend to reflect this. - Rainwarrior 23:27, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Frequency and Amplitude[edit]

...and it is clear that the length of the vibrating string segment is less, and therefore the amplitude of its vibration is less, for higher harmonics than for lower.

Huh? What does the length of the vibrating segment have to do with amplitude? Furthermore, his seems to say that higher harmonics always have higher amplitudes than lower harmonics, which I believe is false (if, for example, the string is excited right in its center, the amplitudes of even-order harmonics will be zero). 141.156.242.18 16:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
