Ray, It will be important to know what electronic instrument Mr. Frampton will use. Some of them have a certain amount of stretch built in and this could mean the difference between tuning clean single octaves and making some attempt to tune to harmonics rather than partials...

Bentley Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 12:24 PM To: CAUT Subject: Mac Frampton I have received a request from Mac Frampton to tune the Steinway D with no stretch in the upper registers so it will be in tune with a synthesizer. Has anyone on this list tuned for him? Can you tell me if you had a similar request, and how you dealt with it. I sent an e mail to his agent just now, but thought someone on the list might have a better answer than I may get from the agent. I usually tune this piano with a lot of stretch (7 or 8 on RCT) for concerts. I'm thinking it will sound pretty dead with no stretch. Can anyone give me some direction here? The concert is coming up this Sunday, Nov. 9. Thanks! Ray ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ray T.
