Convention hints?

[Larry J. Messerly]

It goes real well.

(I'm sorry, and appologize for not being clearer on my original post.  I
was thinking of unison tuning on the top notes, not tuning them to lower
notes.)

Blocking the sound from the undamped strings, blocks the sympathetic
vibration of the octave harmonic.  That harmonic is almost the frequency
of the unison one is trying to tune, but not quite.
