This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Isaac, It seems to me that we learned tuning with the same method although we = did not go to the same class ! I don't remember anything about a teacher talking of inharmonicity = during my apprenticeship, although I know it exists since the very = beginning of my learning, but maybe it was a bit early for students like = us to speak about this. could you explain the "US"methods you learned? What are the major differencies between our good ol'french stuff and the = american one? I was told to set the temperament with a tuning strip of felt, and then = making the unissons with a felt mute. I also use a Papp mute (it exactly looks like a "pince =E0 cornichons" = indeed !! (don't know how to translate that !!!!!)) I'd like to try the mute made of wood with some skin sticked on it. I = thought the tone would be better because hearing something with the = plastic Papp mute is sometimes difficult, at least for me.Yamaha sells = that. The guy who gave me the wave files with the 3rds is Stephane Boussuge = who is the Kawai head technician here (equivalent to Don Mannino, I = think, a Master Piano Artisan.) He also encouraged me to tune aurally and check the result compared to a = master tuning in the Tune Lab software. I havent done that for the moment, but I'd like to. I should ask my boss again and again to buy a VT 100, that would be the = answer, but a boss is a boss and it is not easy for him to spend a lot = of bucks in a machine! (btw, I have a lot of respect for him! don't = imagine I'm telling he is not a good boss!) And I think it's good to tune exclusively aurally for the moment, as I = am still fighting against my natural tendency to stretch my treble a = lot, and it doesn't sounds great sometimes. Cheers, Quentin. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
