  I still use the C temp.  I always wondered what you called the method =
I use.
  I use that method, but a couple of my tuner friends have told me that =
it is
  out dated and the A temp is better.  I am worried that if I try to =
learn it
  now, it will hinder my current tuning skills.  What do you think?

  I think it's good to know 2 or 3 or more temperaments, to get a good =
idea of what setting a temperament is, and not to get in a rut by using =
the same pattern all the time.  You should get good at the one you =
learned how to tune with, but then learn a couple others and try them =
out.  It can only help your tuning skills, once you get comfortable with =
the "new" temperaments.  I believe what's commonly called an "A =
temperament" is really an F to F temperament.  A4 is the first note set =
from the fork, but then the actual octave used for the temperament is F3 =
To F4.   David Nereson, RPT, Denver=20
