Measure FAC in normal manner, calculate and put in a page of memory. 2. Measure FAC, using the first plain wire as the F data, calculate and put in a page of memory. Now, tuning #1 is used for the wound strings. Tuning #2 is used for plain strings. The result is a better tuning. I just use the F4 method. -- Frank Cahill Associate Member Northern Va
