Tuning styles with octaves

[Andrew & Rebeca Anderson]

Well, that is a very good point.  Basically as the speaking length of the 
string gets shorter you end up trying to center the aural "mud" around 
where the fundamental should be.
When tuning little pianos this becomes more of a debatable taste/art.  I 
can think of a console I tuned that had some zinging higher partials that 
stood out like a sore thumb, taming them left me with a galloping lower 
partial combo--mud.  This probably is something that might benefit from 
some judicious, read that "more experienced", voicing.  Comments?
