This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Joe, After tuning each of the coupled strings separately using an ETD, I find that the pitch drops significantly when playing the coupled strings together. You have to anticipate this drop therefore (guess), by tuning these strings individually to a higher pitch and check the result. That done, you can tune the uncoupled third string to the resultant pitch of the other two.
