Fw: Accu-Tuner ad

[Andrew & Rebeca Anderson]

Michael,
So do I, I was taught that the tenor to base affect the sound-board and 
plate most and that tuning treble before these would simply waste the 
effort.  Anyone out there that can comment on that authoritatively?   Also 
you get to check your progress in relation to A440 as you go and adjust as 
may be needed in poor scaling situations.  I'm curious now.
