I strongly believe that what is an unison tuned perfectly, is an unison with the optimum energy utilization since the first day. It seems to me it will be in a stable configuration from the beginning, and will stay as that longer. Besides, I don't like to finish a tuning and find that the sound is "thin". So I keep my pleasure alive ... Having a good fine ear, when I fist learned to tune I tuned unisons so the strings match perfectly from the beginning , attack, and all partials lived without any movement. I discover soon that my tunings where not pleasant to play with, despite their clarity and evenness. That's the way we hear notes for tuning that I had to change. It is totally different from what we learn "in theory". With my best.
