Lanny,
 
Are you serious???  What kind of stop are you thinking ought to have a
42nd halving ratio?  Most stuff has a 16th or 17th halving ratio.
Strings sometimes go slower; maybe the 19th or 20th halving, but a
42nd??
 
What is it going to be:  a string in the bass and a Tibia in the
treble???
 
I just re-checked the calendar and note that the date is not April 1, so
I don't know what to think.
 
Faithfully,
 
"Arp"
