Try a major third C2-E2 and it doesn't sound much better. A number of years ago I did a dealer tuning in a church, on a new Baldwin 243 Studio. Mrs. music expert proceeded to try it over, and when she hit close intervals like C2-E2 she complained that they didn't sound right. I didn't get the impression at the time that my explanation hit pay dirt (I explained that one didn't normally play thirds down that low because of the muddy sound). However, that was the last complaint I have ever had from her, and she has been an ardent supporter of mine over the past 25 years!
