When a submarine pitcher revolves around a horizonal axis, his rotation is vertical, from low to high. (An overhand pitcher also is revolving around a mostly horizontal axis, except from high to low.) A pircher who revolves around a vertical axis would whirl and throw exactly sidearm. Tag: Undo

• 19:5319:53, 14 December 2018 diff hist +52 Piano Undid revision 872912898 by QRManual (talk) The inharmonicity of strings in a 9' grand piano requires a stretch that virtually eliminates the beating of fifths throughout the upper range of the piano. Tag: Undo

20 November 2018

• 22:5222:52, 20 November 2018 diff hist +198 Piano →Modern piano: Included the very important capo bar in the upper treble, and noted that cross-stringing enables longer bass strings relative to the unwound treble strings.
• 19:1519:15, 20 November 2018 diff hist −83 Agraffe A little better discussion of agraffes, with elimination of the agraffe breakage and buzzing correction by filing. The latter is impossible, without removing the agraffe's strings, most likely a very poor choice!
• 14:5614:56, 20 November 2018 diff hist −41 Piano The piano is not a clipping; the word "piano" is. Already we have an extensive discussion of the shortened name in the third through fifth sentences that gives historical context and information.

• 16:1616:16, 9 December 2017 diff hist −63 m Piano →Grand: Octave stretch in small pianos causes problems in fast-beating intervals, i.e., 3rds and 6ths, but continues to improve octaves and fifths. Concert hall, yes; but there's no sense differentiating concertos from solo or chamber literature.
