New Paper

Dear Fellow Tuning Enthusiasts,

Greetings.

I have recently posted a paper that explores tuning by ratios. Included
in this paper are illustrations, programs, WAV files, Csound examples
and a retuned two-part invention by J.S. Bach.

The address of my paper is:

I would be delighted to receive your comments and suggestions.

Thank you and best regards.


Robert Asmussen

" Of
course, you have to have the amp fairly loud, and hold the
guitar pretty close. "

I think that pretty much says it. It's pretty hard to get much
sympathetic vibrations from the strings themselves in the case of an
acoustic guitar.

Although I've only done so much with electric guitars, what I have done
with them suggests that most of the feedback from an electric guitar, the
strings aren't much involved at all. It comes from the guitar pickups
directly (electromagnetically) picking up the magnet of the speaker.
That's pretty apparent from the fact that you can damp the strings entirely
and it continues.
