Not a pretty sight...it IS possible that the SAT coul= dn't handle the compromises needed between the tenor/bass that the aura= l tuning come up with. David I.

Terry Farrell ----- Original Message ----- Read my post..."good piano" ...but if 3 tuners were to aurally Master T= une that Winter....hee, hee, hee...the SAT could duplicate it within th= e test periameters. Again...you can't pass the PTG test without tuning a 2 octave section a= urally, which is why we don't have ETDs hanging a shingle out...;-] David I.
