Yes...a live piano can have vibrato if the strings are not in good tune, they can indeed sound like varying pitch. Also...A# and Bb ARE different pitches. That's one reason why string instruments are said to sound most like the human voice. A# is slightly lower than Bb. The tempered system is a compromise, but we string players always adjust for the key.
Turn table speed variation question
I've always found that tracks containing sustained piano notes (chords mainly) seem to highlight the smallest variation in platter speed.
However, I do not notice the same speed variations with sustained notes played on any other instruments.
Works well when auditioning turntables, but a PITA when you hit those older, less than stellar recordings, where the tape machine cause the issue.
Wondered if anyone else had the same experience with a different instrument, or is this specific to the piano.
Thanks
