The trick is to always set the left string a hair below the middle, and the right string a hair above. The beauty of this technique is you don't have to worry about exactly how much, just keep it close. If done throughout the piano, it sounds very equal all over, I think this is some toners mean by equal temperament. If you offset it allot you get a nice chorus effect that guitar players love. Guitarists pay lots of money for digital delays, and pitch shifters to achieve this effect. I offer a balanced chorus effect for only $20 extra dollars, guaranteed to last till the next tuning. Using this technique I can comfortably do 8 tunings by 3pm, leaving extra time for my drinking buddies. Dave Renaud I'm so glad the consensus is wayne was a joke....I feel much better now.
