For the violin family this is true as the vibrato is a frequency deviation down from the principle frequency (i.e., a backwards rocking of the wrist and finger). However, vibrato is an upwards freq. shift on rock&roll fretted guitar technique (string bend up) (BTW: also on fretted sitar), so the low freq. boundary is the aural reference as principle. Like many aspects of theoretical consideration, the physical performance practice determines much of the 'reality' by default. -- Brian Belet Received: from ns.ezh.nl [137.174.112.59] by vbv40.ezh.nl with SMTP-OpenVMS via TCP/IP; Mon, 23 Jun 1997 10:12 +0200 Received: by ns.ezh.nl; (5.65v3.2/1.3/10May95) id AA01512; Mon, 23 Jun 1997 10:12:59 +0200 Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 10:12:59 +0200 Received: from ella.mills.edu by ns (smtpxd); id XA01510 Received: (qmail 13671 invoked from network); 22 Jun 1997 21:06:14 -0000 Received: from localhost (HELO ella.mills.edu) (127.0.0.1) by localhost with SMTP; 22 Jun 1997 21:06:14 -0000 Message-Id: Errors-To: madole@mills.edu Reply-To: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Originator: tuning@eartha.mills.edu Sender: tuning@eartha.mills.edu
