It makes me think, too. If the center string changes when the unison
is tuned, wouldn't it be better to tune all the center strings first?
Then when tuning the unisons, all the center strings would change
together and be in tune with each other. Otherwise when a center sting
is tuned to an already tuned unison, when the center string's unison
is tuned, the two unisons would no longer be in tune.
