What aural checks are you using in each of these steps? Corte Swearingen Chicago Jim, Corte; Here is the progression with the tests I am using That's right Mike, I had step 11 reversed. It is straightened out below. I am using tunelab pocket in a dell axim to check my aural temperament. Something I have added are the beats per minute (bpm). I use bpm with my meteronome as an aid to help compare the slower beating 4ths and 5ths. One of my faults may be expecting to master aural tuning in a short time. I noticed today that it was not always the E that was problematic sometimes it was C# or G and G#. Someone told me once that if piano tuning was easy, everyone could do it.Thanks to everyone who replied. Have to go make some money tomorrow (not tuning pianos) but hope to get back to my practicing on Friday. 1) A49 to fork F33-fork = F33-A49 2) A37 from A49 F33-A37< F33-A49 3rd is about .5bps slower than 10th 3)F33 from A37 7bps F33-A37<F33-A49 4)F45 from F33 C#29-F33< C#29-F45 5)C#41 from F45 ... balancing pivotal thirds 6)D42 from A37 (4th)1bps wide (60 bpm) F33-D42 6th is 1bps faster than F33-A37 3rd 7)A#38 from F45 (5th).6bps narrow (36bpm) A#38-D42 is slightly faster than A37-C#41 8)F#46 from C#41 (4th) 1.26 bps wide (80bpm)A37-F#46(6th) is 1.26 beats faster than A37-C#41(3rd) D42-F#46 is faster than C#41-F46 9)C40 from F45 (4th) approx 1-1/3 bps wide (80bpm) C40-A49 (6th) is slower than F45-A49, its upper major 3rd C40-A49 is about the same asD42-F#46(M3) 10)E44 from A49 (4th) 1.6bps wide(96bpm) C40-E44 is slower than C#41-F45 and faster than A#38-D42 A37-E44(5th) .6bps narrow C40-E44 is slower than C40-A49 (6th) this is where I encounter my problem? 11)G#48 from C#41(5th)less than 1bps narrow compare E44-G#48 / F45-A49(3rds) compare C#41-G#48 / D42-A49 (parallel 5ths) 12)B39 from F#46 (5th) .83bps narrow (50bpm) B39-D42(minor 3rd)is faster than D42-F#46(major 3rd) B39-E44(4th) is approx 1.1bps 13)D#43 from A#38 (4th) A37-F#46=B39-D#43 14)G47 fromD42 ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
