<p>He means tune one string to A440, the left string to -3 cents or a couple beats per second flat, the right string +3 cents of a couple beats per second sharp. Then mute and play each string separately, one at a time...can the person pick out the correctly tuned note? No fair you doing this...;-] </p>

<p>By the way, I use an ETD and my ears...there is nothing missing in my tunings...<br/><br/>David Ilvedson, RPT<br/>Pacifica, CA 94044<br/><br/></p>

Next, take the left string; tune it to A-439. Then take right string and tune to A 441. I'll bet nobody can tell which is right. The good ones will pick one or the other, but I'll bet, even if you mix it up differently, nobody can tell which is A-440! Try it...........</font> <br/><br/><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Paul</font> <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
