Well, that is a very good point. Basically as the speaking length of the string gets shorter you end up trying to center the aural "mud" around where the fundamental should be. When tuning little pianos this becomes more of a debatable taste/art. I can think of a console I tuned that had some zinging higher partials that stood out like a sore thumb, taming them left me with a galloping lower partial combo--mud. This probably is something that might benefit from some judicious, read that "more experienced", voicing. Comments?
