Well, after reading all the mail about 4ths and 5ths and 3rds and 6ths, I am compromising. I am now starting to use the Coleman A to A temperament in which you tune pivotal 3rds and then mostly 4ths and 5ths. I am having trouble with this F-A approx. 7bps thing. I know a lot of aural tuners start with this interval and I would be curious to know how you learned how to set this interval. This is probably an extremely stupid question: Why approximately? How do I know when to set it slightly slower than 7bps? Is there a solid check to make sure that I have tuned this first interval correctly? Jonathan Hoover
