Hi, I wanted to ask about that "12 to 14 cents flat"  if using a C or A fork
what is that in beats? as beats are what you hear as an aural tuner

Brian

"It's great that you enjoy tuning aurally. But if you are an aural tuner how
do you know it was 12 to 14 cents flat? And if you use a measuring device
of some kind then a 2 cent window is unacceptable--better get something
more accurate. If you do use such a device when was it last calibrated? Oh
you checked against your fork? And when did you last have your fork
calibrated? Was that at exactly 68 degrees F.? And was the barometric
pressure taken into account?
