I wonder if he heard a demonstration of holding = C1 and playing C2 hard to excite the 1st partial and got mixed up?  I = don't believe you can tune so more partial can be heard anyway. I would think = that's more a mater of scale design and voicing than = tuning.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px = solid"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left>-----Original Message----- From: = caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Wimblees@aol.com Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 2:45 PM To: caut@ptg.org Subject: 1st partial </DIV>One of the piano profs called me into = his office and asked if I could tune the 1st octave so that more of the 1st partial = can be heard. He played C2 while holding down C3, and the first = partial sounded on C3. But 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 octave above? I use a SATIII, using the program from Sanderson.
