That said, many have utilized tuning devices (mostly old Petersons, that I've seen) over the years. She'd probably be thrilled with ET, no stretch. Once you've managed that (without breaking any strings -- make sure the pedals are set properly) then you could measure appropriate stretch on the fly, try the HT Ric suggested, etc. Good luck, Patrick
