Ed: Using TuneLab Pocket rather than an SAT those figures don't mean much to me. How high was C6, C7 & C8 on that tuning? I could compare it to what I usually do with those numbers. dp David M.

I thought it was the filtration. On to one of the big benefits of the SAT's. I tuned a Steinway D this a.m. I used the following numbers, so that any that care to hear what I heard can do so, and we can then discuss how we feel about the results. FAC was 6.4 - 7.6 - 6.2 I used the DOB at a -.2 from A0 to A4 and then I set the DOB at +.3 from A4 to C8. The F2 was wanting to be flattened just a small amount to compromise between a good thirds progression and a smooth octave, but otherwise, I didn't deviate from the canned tuning so that we can easily compare our attitudes about stretch. This tuning will be usable for anything, I think, but perhaps an oboe or flute or horn accompaniment might profit by a little less stretch. It was pretty busy to my ears, but I am waiting for faculty feedback to make up my mind about this much stretch. It is more than I am used to, but not quite as much as some tunings I have heard.
