Robertt Finley asked : "Until now I have been performing the FAC stretch =
calculation/analysis =3D
using the SAT III on the piano and then began tuning chromatically from =
=3D
A0 upwards, tuning the single string unisons, and then the two and three =
=3D
string unisons as I go along, using rubber mutes. I am wondering whether =
=3D
it would be better to strip mute the piano, tune all the single strings, =
=3D
perform checks on the intervals and octaves, and then go back and tune =
=3D
all the unisons. =3D20

What would you advise that would produce the best, most accurate and =3D
fastest result? Thank you for your help.=3D20"

Robert,
Please refer to my Tuning Article, PTJ, January 2000. This system will, =
hopefully, start you on the road to good Aural tuning. Most techs, that =
I've queried about the FAC system, have found it somewhat lacking. It is =
a system that will get the "beginner" a reasonable/commercial tuning, =
but that's as far as it's able to go, IMO.
