Sweet sounding

[pianoman]

As to the sweet sounding tunings, we in the St. Louis chapter a number of
years ago had a demonstration on unisons.  It seems like the preferred
sound was not dead on but about 0.5c difference between the strings.  This
would account for the dry sound if someone really tunes the unisons dead
on.  It has nothing to do with how but if you actually get there by any
means.  I would think that most of us that tune with computers tune unison
aurally anyway, I certainly do.
If you purposely tune your unisons to a small variation to have them sound
sweet of course that means the piano is already closer to going out of
tune.  
	We strive for perfection knowing we will never reach it but no matter, it
is still our goal.
