ears vs. eyes..kinda long-winded

[Isaac OLEG]

hello,

I agree that half a beat is too much if it is off from what you are
aiming for, but often the warmness of the place is changing during the
tuning.

Whose who stick to their ETD don't notice immediately the global
drift, those who tune aurally don't notice too, but their tuning is
then better at the end.



Regards

Isaac O. Zoreil
