String design and age might influence this (mostly age), but it happens eve= rywhere on the piano, since the upper note has all its partials in common wi= th the lower.   You might check to see if you followed the wrong partial when tuning the lo= wer octave.

He played C2 while holding down C3, and the first partial sounded on C3. Bu= t when he held down C2, and played C1, the first partial wasn't there. Such = was also the case in all the notes from A0 - B1. How can I tune that first octave to have the first partial sound on the oct= ave above? I use a SATIII, using the program from Sanderson.
