Go for it, should be interesting. :-)
I hate that when there's an issue with a forum page and you've just written everything, know the feeling "Grrr Arggh".
A funny thought...Never know Harold Rhodes could have got some of his theory from cantilever beams as he did major in Architecture ... but dropped out to look after his family and take over a piano school ;-)
cheers will let you know if i come up with anything
I am also in a similar position to you because I am writing a small music dissertation on the Fender Rhodes which includes a large section on the physics of the instrument and would like an equation for the vibration instead of just takings sonograms and comparing to other simlilar instruments...
