Comment on the Railsback Curve

Railsback curve Notes

Overall, it is written very eloquently, there is not much to be said with regards to the main points outlined in the guidelines. With regards to some parts or some little details, I have a few minor comments:

  • Maybe try writing a line or more about the beating heard, and where it originates from, when describing the analysis of common harmonics when tuning the piano
  • (Very minor, but…) I would replace :

- “In theory, here is the tuning profile of a piano following a twelve-tone equal temperament tuning profile. (see Figure 1, Figure 2)”

- With (or something along the lines of):

- “Figure 1 and 2 illustrate the tuning profile of a piano following a twelve-tone equal temperament.”

  • I find the use of the word acute a bit strange in the context of inharmonicity. I would suggest to use pronounced
  • Very nice conclusion in my opinion, I don’t have much more to add aside from what is said above.
