<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Considering the spread of a fifth, it =
would seem to
me that there would be opportunity for higher partials to be all over =
the place
with the inharmonicity differences in wire. I.e., a plain wire and wound =
wire.
By my ears, the beats of the higher partials are no where near =
double
sometimes, but I haven't really got into it yet. I still don't see how =
you use
that beat speed to put the wire being tuned into your tuning pattern. =
More info,
please.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>From Alan Barnyard's post: "5ths have such a slow beat that =
they are
hard for most to tune accurately, as a primary interval"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's much easier to use =
5ths by
listening to the second intersection of partials and not the =
first.
However you will have to sensitize your hearing to discern that
point.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
