Richard, Yep. I'm aware the FAC numbers can change some with humidity changes, etc. but I guess I'd just never thought about things changing since it was an aural tuning, recorded into the SAT III. What got me to checking further was when I discovered I no longer had a smooth progression of 3rds and that has always been one of my MAIN things, especially in the temperament octave. Makes things interesting, though. :-) >I suppose you are tuning to an ETD recorded master tuning and finding that >given a different season or some other such factor the master doenst sound >so good anymore ?..
