Z - Of course I meant A flat. I hope you didn't spend too long trying to figure that one out, or the nature of my particular malady. Does that make the method any clearer? I don't know if I could do it with a fork. You could set a quick mini-temp (A4 - A3; F3 - A3; A3 - C#4 contig. 3rd; C#4 - G#3;) Then, mute one of the three strings of A3, lower another to where the quality of the interval between A flat - A1/4 flat is the same as A1/4 flat and A. Keep checking the tuning of your constant A-220 against A-440 above. Borrowing an ETD is good too. When's the performance?
