I brought my Sat lll along just for = the occasion. Everything went fine with the tuning until I reached the first = single string in the bass. I put it where the Sat said to put it, but it = didn't sound right. My brother has a better musical ear than I and said = it sounded sharp. Aurally, it was tuned 6:3 as it should, but there was = a strong beat higher up. That piano and my brother were not satisfied = until I tuned those last 10 strings 12:6! Can you imagine? Have any of = you ran into a similar situation? It sounded good that way, so that's = the way it stayed.
