That's a really funny mistake I made, Bob!  I remembered one nugget, and =
got that wrong!  :-)  Of course it doesn't matter which side of the =
interval F2 is on; we're tuning A4 here, not F2...

Thanks for keeping my brain cells challenged.  I will go back over your =
post.

  By the way, in a tuned piano, F2-A4 ~is~ wide of a pure interval, but =
for the purposes of setting the A, it really doesn't matter whether it's =
set wide or narrow, as long as it's beating about 4-6 times a second =
[although if F2-A4 is set narrow, A4 would slow down as you raised it, =
instead of speeding up like when F2-A4 is wide]. The F2 is just used as =
a beat generator against the A4 of the fork and of the piano.

  Sincerely,
  Bob D
