'C' fork users only (inferior 'A' fork users need not apply)

[James Grebe]

Hi Patrick,

I tuned 18 years with my trusty C fork before I started using electronic
(SOT,SAT, RCT).  I still in an emergency use my trusty C temperament as it
served me well and why learn another system when you are comfortable with
one that already works.  Yes, there are purists who say that the A
temperament will work better and maybe so for some applications but I am a
bread and butter type tuner and set in my ways.


It is not the method , but the results when you are done that count.
Jim
