SAT question

[Jim]

Tune them both to the Steinway program.  You surely wouldn't want
the Steinway to sound like an Acrosonic.  The Acrosonic will never
sound like the Steinway either. She can either buy another
Acrosonic,
or buy another Steinway.  Otherwise use the best as a standard. They
still will not sound alike, because you are matching only one partial
of each note. They happen to be the best choices, but the other
partials will still be there to haunt you.

PS If the Steinway is an S and the Acrosonic is 42 or 43 inches, then
I might suggest something else.
