I'm quite interested in what folks might have to say to Matthew to help him figure out his dilemma. It's as worthwhile a technical topic as any.<br/><br/>And Matthew, perhaps if you can get a grasp of beat speeds from approximately 7 for F3-A, 9 for A-C#, and 11 for C#-F4, this would help. Balancing them is the trick. <br/><br/>Paul<br/></font></div> <div><br/></div> <div><br/></div>-----Original Message-----<br/>From: Don <pianotuna@accesscomm.ca><br/>To: Pianotech List <pianotech@ptg.org><br/>Sent: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 8:23 am<br/>Subject: Re: Tuning Help<br/><br/> <div id="AOLMsgPart_0_30dec819-3bc4-46cc-87fd-704c1b6b589b" style="font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: Tahoma,Verdana,Arial,Sans-Serif; background-color: rgb(255,255,255)"> <pre style="font-size: 9pt"><tt>Hi Mathew,<br/> <br/> Your progression of beats from f3:a3 and a3:c#4 must be wrong if the c#4:f4<br/> is too fast.<br/> <br/> Have you joined the PTG yet?
