Tuning

[David Nereson]

    Yes, I learned to tune using a C - to - C temperament, but it was C3 to C4.  The beats are a little slower and easier to count than in the F3 to F4 temperament.  The main trouble with it, though, is that it often falls across the bass/tenor break, which, especially in small pianos, results in successive intervals that don't increase smoothly in their beating.
    Not knowing any other temperament sequence at the time, however, I persisted, and maybe it gave me early experience in dealing with "wild" strings and partials that just wouldn't fit the hoped-for pattern.

  Hi,
   
  I've got  a question concerning tuning, my piano is a strange one it was made in Ukraine about 15-20 years ago, and has recieved alot of abuse, including being moved over the atlantic, and being dropped... Strangely enough, soundboard remained in tact, but I'm having issues tuning it, it's a 42inch console upright. I was thinking of trying out tuning in the C4-C5 for temperament instead of F3-F4. Does anyone have any experience trying this out?
   
  Sincerely,
  Alicia
