Bass Tuning

[Elian Degen]

Hello, List

I am still having problems with my e-mail provider, actually, they told me
the problems were due to faulty phone lines, so sometimes I can not send or
receive.

And how about that customer that plays a single note at the bass (where
there is a single string ) and tells you Don´t you think this tone is out of
tune ?.

I met once a piano tuner, that was a long time ago, that used to check the
bass tune playing a kind of minor chord, I don´t remember what notes he
used, but I remember you could notice where it was out of tune, I was young
an inexperienced then, and I did not take note, but I remembered the
situation due to this discussion, and I would like to know if any one knows
that method.
