<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The article referred to below, entitled "Tuning the
F3-A3 Third With Ease", is found in the March 2006 PTG Journal. This
article also has a sidebar including the Stebbins article excerpt from the
December 1994 Journal. I know because I just re-discovered it and have
started playing with it and I like this method. I'll be taking my tuning
exam in April and I plan on using this method. Wish me skill!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope this helps,</FONT></DIV>

<TD><TT>Hi Greg,<BR><BR>Have you looked at the PACE tuning lesson books?
<BR>Also, maybe search out the George Defebaugh<BR>temperament sequence.
Using contiguous M3rds may help<BR>because their beat speeds are faster
and easier to<BR>hear than relying only on 4ths and 5ths. <BR><BR>There is
a great way to set the F3-A3 major 3rd<BR>accurately for any piano. (was
it Jack Stebbins'<BR>method?) It has been written about recently in
the<BR>Journal maybe a year or two ago. Maybe someone can<BR>chime in with
the month/yr. and title of that article.<BR>It uses contiguous M3rds above
and below F3-A3 to set<BR>its beat speed exactly between these two outer
M3rds. <BR> </TT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
