Charles et al, Sheesh! No it does not. Taking into consideration that ancient= instruments had quite a bit LESS inharmonicity would give you= the idea that NO STRETCH is more appropriate, IMHO!! If you= attempt to tune all of the octaves as pure as possible then you= will come a bit closer to what the "Great Masters" had in mind= and heard. However, it is my opinion that any HT on a modern= instrument, (excluding Modern HT's), is an excercise in futility= and maybe a bit of stupidity, as well. Modern pianos, with high= tension/inharmonicity factors do not truly convey the "true"= sound of HT's. Just my thoughts, having done many HT's on both Modern and true= ancient instruments. As for tuning HT's, aurally, to improve your aural skills, that's= a good thing and I encourage it. Just don't put modern tuning= criteria into the mix, please. Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
