[pianotech] Possible adaptation for the Tuning Exam

[Joe Goss]

For the same reason it cannot be used as the stretch on another piano will 
most likely be different.
It is a misconception to say that we tune a piano to equal temperament. Only 
he A,F or C
which ever note is chosen to set the temperament will if set exactly will be 
in equal temperament All notes above and below that BENCH MARK will be sharp 
or flat to compensate for the pianos stretch.
Thus a well tuned piano is perfectly out of tune.
