Hi Jim Turner, What Dr. Coleman is suggesting is that vtd and etd tuners should do unisons by aural techniques. In the bass section there are *so* many partials that the *box* will tune just *one* better than most aural tuners can. Unfortunately no 2 strings are identical, so tuning just *one* partial leads to very unpleasant unisons. As you go higher in the scale, generally speaking, there are fewer and fewer partials to deal with. The result is a *cleaner* sounding unison from the *box*. It is still prefereable to tune all unisons aurally though because again no 2 strings are identical with respect to termination etc. At 12:16 AM 6/17/98 -0500, you wrote: >For Dr. Coleman, > >You mentioned not using the SAT to tune unisons in the bass.
