When = the first (bearing) octave has been set and I approve through listening = chromatically to those M3s, then I tune down to the bottom note using M10s, M8s, M4s and = M5s. Up to the top now and here I use M15s, M10s, M4s and M5s. Once you have = taken those beats "on board" you're set for a life of bliss. Only using the ETD in the bearing octave - but still listening for those beats even so.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Experiment. Tune a piano until you're = really happy with it. Then just play M10s chromatically all the way down and up. = Listen very carefully and note the gradual increase in beat-rate as you go up and = the conversely slowing of beat-rate on the way down.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Happy Tunings/Easter  = ;-)</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Michael = G.(UK)</FONT> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
