And down, when I came in to the IRC #pianotech chat (this morining my time)
there was a bit on bass tuning. Jonathan (not sure who you are) was talking
about minor 3rd and 6ths I was saying about use or 10ths, decreasing in
speed, then using 15ths also. This I learned in UK, is this used by aural
tuners elsewhere?
