Hi Joe, I actually believe the F-4 method superior to FAC. My opinion is that FAC represented more of a time saving feature than the accuracy that comes with using F-4 properly and carefully. Using the F-4 number on one of your Webers and using that tuning while putting it into memory and then storing the numbers below C-3 and above F-6 gives you your choice of your octave matching and stretch. When I was using the SAT I would store tunings generated this way for my most discriminating pianos. Go forth and conquer! James Grebe R.P.T. of the P.T.G. St. Louis, MO.
