Moving the fundamental to match the beat rate at the sharp 2nd partial forces you to tune sharp.

A perfectly tuned 440 A4 on the piano produces a second partial which is slightly sharp of 880. IF the fork produces 880 at A5 (which has recently been called into question), we would have to bring A4 DOWN (under 440) to match its 2nd partial to the fork's 2nd partial.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style"></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Bookman Old Style">Bob Davis</FONT></DIV></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
