<html> <body> <pre> >Do you mean +/- 6 cents? You couldn't go +/- 6 Hz, up and down. My reply was to </pre>Alan Forsyth's description of the tuning and how an ETD might facilitate its accomplishment. +/-6 c @ A4 would produce about 3bps by having the strings ~438.5, 440, 441.5; respectively. (6c being ~1.5bps) +/-6 Bps would produce about 12 bps (434, 440, 446) which would be a rather vibrant sounding note. Weather or not a 6 bps spread is desirable is up for speculation but I will take Alan's word for it. It seems a little much especially at the top treble.
