Pitch Raise Sequence

[Farrell]

Hi Joe. Thanks for the response. I am trying to understand what your
methodology is, but can not follow.

You wrote: "If the bass is only slightly flat ( 15 cents ) it will be tuned
after all
tenor strings are tuned directly to the tenor note an octave above, by ear."

What is the sequence here? For instance, do you tune G3 (plain tricord),
then G2 (wound bicord), then back to a plain string, and then a wound
string??? I don't understand.

I'll visit your website. I have been meaning to pick up a couple of your
string leveling - hammer mating gizzmos.
