Herb F wrote Well, actually, no. The 6% is accurate, but you multiply, not add. That is you multiply by 1.06 12 times to get an octave. Instead of 1.72, this give 2.01 (not exactly 2.00 because the 6% is slightly high). Therefore a D hose would be 14 1/4 feet, and a D basso hose would be 28 1/2 feet, given a 12 foot F hose. Another way of saying this is that you add the 6% to the length you currently have, and repeat this 12 times.
I'm sure that someone else can explain this better than I did. Cabbage? ******** You explained it really well, Leonard. So I will tell a joke instead. At the high school class reunion, everyone was surprised to discover that Hal, the class dummy, was now immensely wealthy. When they asked for his secret, he explained: I discovered how to manufacture something for one dollar which everyone buys for four dollars. It may not seem like much, but over the years that three per cent profit really adds up. gotta go, Cabbage _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] unsubscribe or set options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
