size=2>BTW
some instruments don't accept high stretch in the treble, and I've seen =
tuners
using a trick that I've been told is used in harpsichord tuning and that =
is
tuning reverse octaves (shorter than pure) in the treble , to produce =
some
friction there (as I guess friction is what is expected) . The result is =
more
pleasing than I thought, but not on all pianos, those with a high treble =
spectra
(high IH) accept that way better than those with a purer
treble.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P>A client has asked me to put more stretch in the high treble. =
Simply put,
how do I do this as an aural tuner? I know it can be subjective, =
but I
also need a way to make it even.</P>
