It might not really be so much "poor" as inevitable. To me, getting perfectly evenly descending 3rds has been a moot point for over 10 years. I can create much more palitable harmony in this section of the scale and avoid undue harshness at the same time. It's an example of taking that which is a problem or even a dilemma for everyone else and finding a way to use it to your advantage in a competative market. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin
