Baldwin Hamilton (F is usually in the 16 to 18 range)   No matter what you do you will have problems with that tuning.   Sure you can tune with less stretch to make the octave better but what happens to you fifths?   COMPROMISE...</p> <p>Hey, I thought you were getting a Verituner?   <br /><br />David Ilvedson, RPT<br />Pacifica, CA 94044<br /><br /></p> <div style="padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: #000000 3px solid; padding-top: 5px"> <hr />Original message<br />From: "Avery Todd" <ptuner1@gmail.com></ptuner1@gmail.com><br />To: "College and University Technicians" <caut@ptg.org></caut@ptg.org><br />Received: 8/18/2007 4:02:44 AM<br />Subject: Re: [CAUT] SAT numbers<br /><br /> <div align="left">Joe, I do that when I can't get a clear reading on F to get my "number".

I tuned two Pearl River UP 115's today (studio size) and one of them had an F number of 15.1 and the other had 14.9. I was getting way too much stretch as I went into the bass so I just ended up tuning them aurally! </div> <div></div> <div>I seem to remember that someone (Fred Sturm?) mentioned some time back that he never uses a number higher than ?????. Am I correct? Or was it someone else? Just wondering what others of you SAT users do in a case like this. BTW, this is a VERY good reason why it's good to also be able to tune aurally!!!!!!! :-) </div> <div></div> <div>Avery Todd</div> </blockquote></span> </div> </div> </blockquote> </div><br /> </div> </body> </html>
