[sdiy] Polyphonic Vibrato

[John L Marshall]

Harry,

I'm thinking of how a piano is tuned. The upper keys have three strings per
note and the lower keys have two strings per note. The strings are not tuned
the same and therefore generate beats, perhaps a similar effect as single
oscillator modulated by a LFO. It's not really the same. But, chords sound
pretty good on a piano properly tuned piano with all those beats going on.
Especially in the hands of Van Cliburn.

Take care,
John
