Subject:Re: Finally revealed, new tool eliminates the "shrill factor"

Well, if I had access to the various models I would sit down and gather that
sort of information. It's not something you'd notice just "playing along"
but it is a part of the overall sound of the instrument. It's one of those
"detail" things that would likely not be obvious but may leave a player
feeling like "I can't quite place it but, it's not quite right..."

So to answer your question, no I have not compared the various makes/models.

Cheers!
