David Andersen's whole-note tuning

[Scott Jackson]

I think that I have missed something basic here. Is there a simple
definition of the term "whole-note tuning"? I did search the archives, but
that just confused me more. Is there a journal article or book that I should
read? Or do you need to attend a seminar by David to get it?

With "whole-note tuning," I think it's easier to hear.  You don't have to
pay as much attention to which partials are doing what.  It's more
simplistic, at least to my ears, once you get used to it.  But it's good to
have some basic checks.  I mainly use octave-fifths and double/triple
octaves in either extremity.
