<div>In the spirit of Ron Koval's multi-octave "unison" challenge, here's an experiment I've done a half-dozen times or so over the past couple years, on "nice" pianos, Yamaha U1 or betterĀ that have stabilized so pitch adjustment is less than 10 cents:</div>
<div><br></div><div>- Quick tuning to bring it back to the saved tuning from last time.</div><div>- Copy the .tun file.</div><div>- Re-tune by ear to what I think is "best," and capture the override.</div><div>- Go home and study the offsets.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For me, it's +/- 3 or 4 cents, and it's a jagged, random set of offsets. Usually only a few in the temperament, but a lot offsets elsewhere. No, most of my customers can't tell. I think some may be able to.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But I know.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm a relatively new RPT, passed theĀ tuning exam with good scores, not CTE level, but pretty good, with some 100's, and the rest 90's, and high 80's. But I have a conundrum now, are what I perceive my best tunings to be, "better" than the ETD ones? And who cares? It's an interesting puzzle.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've recently purchased Verituner for my iPod/iPhone recently and plan to repeat the experiments. (Can I compare its calculated and measured tunings? Tunelab highlights the diffs in red.)</div><div>
