Julie,

I just let the piano guide me.  If a unison is really wild because one =
string is way off, I measure one of the two that are closer together.  =
If A0 is way off, I measure a few other notes in the bottom octave, =
because A0 may not be representative.  And if I get a big difference in =
an octave, I'll sometimes measure D# in between, just to get a little =
closer picture.

I picked 8 cents as a pitch raise guide because that's what the PTG =
website (and bulletin) used to say.  Dean Reyburn told us recently that =
he's down to two cents.  Time to update my graph!

  Greetings,

          I like your idea of giving the customer a graph. I too, =
measure all the A's before I begin any tuning to see where it sets. I =
ususaly pick the center string. Which of the three strings (in treble =
notes) do you use to measure the A's? Which would be the most reliable =
"tell" out of the three?
