Dear Jim,

What you say is so true.  However, the time needed to rerun through the
Cree's tuning system is minimal, and it is easy to discover where the
discrepancies exist.

It is a fun simple method, requires hardly any mental effort, does help one
to establish some beat recognition, and a reasonable tuning can be had
using this system.

Sincerely,
