HI to all:

Some have written again and said they didn't get my notes on how to 
practice for the Tuning exam. There were so many requests, that I
followed the suggestions of some of my collegues to post in general to
the whole list.

Here are the two articles which I promised those who requested. The 
First is as an attachment to this email. The second is included below.

Temperament Practice

Use my procedure for the Baldassin/Sanderson/Kimbell/Tremper 
Temperament. Practice just the first part until you can come within
.3 cents of each of the first three notes according to an FAC 
temperament. (ie, get the three A's right).

Then practice tuning the two Fs and the C#s until you can get them
within .3 cents each time before looking at the SAT.

After you can do that each time successfully, Then tune those notes
with the SAT and practice getting the B3 within .3 cents each time.
Once you can do this, the rest is easy. It's just a matter of 
fitting the 3rds among their neighbors.

It sounds easy, but does hard. Don't waste your practice time trying
to set a whole temperament and then checking until you can do the
above without mistakes. On a good piano scale, there is nothing
wrong with the FAC tunings. If you think there is, go back and check
your accuracy on each of the notes involved. You'll find like I do
most of the time that you failed to really stop the LEDs properly
in the first place.

PS The Baldassin/Sanderson/Kimbell/Tremper Temperament is as I currently
use it and is saved as a Tuning Sequence #SE 2 in my SAT III. I'm hoping
that when production is released that they will include my suggestions for
tuning sequences.  JWC
