Iv'e got an idea

[Kevin E. Ramsey RPT]

If you are thinking of tuning every note of YOUR piano to the tones on this
MP3 recording, it wouldn't be right, because YOUR piano would probably have
different harmonics. A different "stretch" as it were. Even different
specimens of the same model number have different harmonics.
    If you are listening to beat rates, the beat rates for a well scaled
grand are going to be different than that for a well scaled vertical. If you
just want to listen to a good tuning on a good piano, that could work. But,
the better the piano, the better they fall in tune.
    Keep your fifths relatively pure, your fourths a bit busier, and your
thirds smoothly progressing, and it will all work out. The better, more well
scaled pianos almost "tune themselves".
