Hi Roger, It's a nice to have this list. I find it incredible that you can perform items 1, 2, and 3 in 20 mins. There are approximately 800 operations in 1200 seconds--that's only 1.5 seconds an item. I know you are bionic...but...some of us aren't. Why this particular order? Have you tried "different" orders for the first three items? I.E. coils first? I do find wild "swings" in pitch even on a single unison when I level/tighten coils--so I generally do that first and then tune. I suppose in an ideal world tuning could be redone after each of the first three steps. At 09:09 AM 4/9/2003 -0600, you wrote: <snip> >>1.
