Notes 85-86-87-88

Hi Karen:

The Accutuner has only a 25 Hz range on either side of the note you are
tuning.  If you get the dots to rotate no less a quarter revolution, you
are doing well.  You are within a half beat.  Most of us aural tuners do
not tune any more accurately than that in the top few notes. When you
consider that the tone of the last few notes only lasts from 1 to 2
seconds, that's not bad.  Sometimes it helps to just watch the center
light.  If you can tune on the sharp side, but only have the center light
come on once, you are tuning closer than 1 beat per second. Now, if
you are on the flat side, it wont come on at all.
