Just for the sake of .... well ..... has anyone tried BB's suggestion of
a mild out of tune tuning on these ahh... instruments.

I have actually tried an approximation of his EBVT on a couple rather
challanged ity bitys I have to deal with from time to time, and really I
gotta give him a big point on this score. Seems to work well.

Just food for thought.
