You will find the lower bass area virtually impossible to be satisfied with
tuning wise. Go with your gut as much as anything else. Otherwise, lower
tenor is often plauged with string pairs that dont sound good
together...from a tuners standpoint anyways.... beyond that they are easy
and fast to tune. Treble should be no problem.

Pin setting seems to me to be just a bit off the norm on these. You may
find you have to work at it a bit to get it to sit like you want it.
SHeeshh... been a long time since I ran into one of those now... thank the
maker.
