<BR>It is on the high side but to me, that is an advantage. The higher the
<BR>inharmonicity, the more the octaves may be stretched without creating a
<BR>dissonance in doing so. Artful stretching of the octaves allows some of the
<BR>Pythagorean Comma, the reason why the scale must be tempered, to be absorbed.
<BR> This means that your tuning can sound clearer, more appealing and avoid to a
<BR>large degree that inevitable "slightly off" sound.
<BR>
<BR>Don't regard it as a problem, it's a solution.
