You are right also on the rest, because there is no one way. (But some ways might be wrong ways.) Therefore it's nice to have a digital piano with microtuning to try things out and listen to the same piece in several tunings. I only wish they would make a digital piano with a real good grand piano keyboard. They are centuries behind. Yours Helmut Wabnig wabi@net4you.co.at
