The octaves are in between 6/3 and 8/4 on this piano in the low bass. String design and age might influence this (mostly age), but it happens everywhere on the piano, since the upper note has all its partials in common with the lower. You might check to see if you followed the wrong partial when tuning the lower octave. Ed S. ---------- From: Wimblees@aol.com To: caut@ptg.org Subject: 1st partial Date: Thu, Oct 31, 2002, 2:45 PM One of the piano profs called me into his office and asked if I could tune the 1st octave so that more of the 1st partial can be heard. He played C2 while holding down C3, and the first partial sounded on C3. But when he held down C2, and played C1, the first partial wasn't there. Such was also the case in all the notes from A0 - B1. How can I tune that first octave to have the first partial sound on the octave above? I use a SATIII, using the program from Sanderson.
