<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=3> Yes, I learned to tune
using a C - to - C temperament, but it was C3 to C4. The beats are a
little slower and easier to count than in the F3 to F4 temperament. The
main trouble with it, though, is that it often falls across the bass/tenor
break, which, especially in small pianos, results in successive intervals that
don't increase smoothly in their beating.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow" size=3> Not knowing any other
temperament sequence at the time, however, I persisted, and maybe it gave me
early experience in dealing with "wild" strings and partials that just wouldn't
fit the hoped-for pattern. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Tuning</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi,<BR> <BR>I've got a question concerning tuning,
my piano is a strange one it was made in Ukraine about 15-20 years ago, and
has recieved alot of abuse, including being moved over the atlantic, and being
dropped... Strangely enough, soundboard remained in tact, but I'm having
issues tuning it, it's a 42inch console upright. I was thinking of trying out
tuning in the C4-C5 for temperament instead of F3-F4. Does anyone have any
experience trying this out?<BR> <BR>Sincerely,<BR>Alicia<BR><BR>
