[pianotech] Octaves & Unions

[tnrwim at aol.com]

Let's put it this way, with Cybertuner, you tune from A0 to A88 - one
ote at a time.
In your example, I don't tune anything to anything because Cybertuner
as done all that checking (hearing partials, calculating stretch,
alculating overpull, etc - basically all the checks you - have - to do
urally as - you - are tuning) in the first place and it - just - tells
e where to put the next note going up the scale.

So what you're telling me is that you do NOT check octaves aurally. But I thought you said you did, which makes you a "Hybrid" tuner. So do you check octaves aurally, or not?

     All the above boils down to - trust - I trust Cybertuner to hear all the
     partials (etc that have been listed before) and the forcasted overpull
     to tune the note as where it should be, so when you are all done they
     are in tune with the rest of the piano.

     So bottom line, I - trust - Cybertuner to put the note where it should
     be - and - by the testing done by other people, its pretty darn accurate.

     As I said - trust - just like you trust your ear to tell you where to
     put the note.

 OK, let me try one more time. You say that when you get done tuning
 the piano with the Cybertuer, you *aurally* check octaves to make sure
 they are "pure". (I think they way you put it, you don't want to hear
 one over the other). But when you check the octave, (C5) do you first
 recheck the lower one (C4) with the Cybertuner, to make sure it is
 tuned corretly? Or do you just tune the upper note (C5) with the lower
 note, (C4) without making sure the lower note is where it is
 supposed to be?
