I've asked fairly "critical" people how they like their octaves (over-easy, sunny side up, yolks hard, etc), and had one lady not like the machine so I went aural. She liked it. Next tuning I did the same and she didn't like it again. For grins I went through and set them by the machine............... She liked it......... Might be fair to say "All pianists are deaf, sometimes.".................. I did a tuning on a 9-foot Kawai in which the bass stretch was less than 2-cents. Didn't make sense, yet thirds and tenths progressed nicely, fifths and fourths were clean, and Robert Scott said, given the reading I showed on the file, the lack of stretch might be appropriate. The performer, a local well-known, told the director the tuning was excellent.............. So, I faithfully recreate tunings as much as possible for consistency and stability's sake. les bartlett ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
