To clairify, 'C' and 'E'are the known factors, and >'G' (below) is being set. Is this correct? > >Dan Reed > Yes the same goes for F# to D and A also F to C# and G# the sixth is slower than the 3rd When you finished the scale the sixths should go faster up the scale there are only 3 in the scale. However, When you tune the F# octave in the Bass F# to D# is a test I use. When I am tuning down the bass on my confirmation test of the octave I follow with the sixth. The sixths are easier to hear further down the base than 3rds. I use 4th and 5ths and minor 3rds and sixes if the bass note is very false to check the octave.
