>Somewhat off topic (or is it) ... I remember Virgil Smith doing a study >here once where he showed that tuning unisons caused the pitch level of >the note to drop. I believe it was something like 1-2 cents. (anyone >know what I'm talking about, or have I gone mad?) It's not off topic.....it's a phenomenon I encounter every day, and it must be factored in to the total stretch perception of the tuner. Problem is, it's different on every piano, and in some pianos, the damn pitch goes up instead of down! Big fun....BIG fun...... David Andersen
