Hello Bernhard What, precisely, is P12? Is it M12 (major 12th) or pure 12ths? Interesting possibilities here. I tune using M3 and listen to the beat gradually getting slower as I go down the keyboard. In fact I use the M3 as a "tool" and back up my findings with M10 (towards the bass end) and M15 and M17 towards the treble end.
