The page may have been taken from a previous scale of the Baldwin R and the one you are tuning has been changed. The FAC procedure will probably do a better job for you, because it reads that piano and designs a tuning specifically for it. Octaves 6-7 are tricky. When I was first starting, I set those octaves too sharp. Hope this helps, Warren -- Home of The Humor List Warren D. Fisher fish@communique.net Registered Piano Technician
