Order of SAT tuning

[Jim]

Dear Philip:

My personal preference is to tune starting at the lowest plain steel
strings, tuning unisons as I go all the way to C88.

If any slight change of pitch occurs, it is better to tune the Bass last
since it changes the least during the process.  If the pitch of the plain
strings has settled just slightly, the SAT can be reset to match before
tuning the Bass.  If there was very MUCH change, a pitch raise
procedure should have been done in the first place.

Even in pitch raise situations, I still like to tune the plain strings
first.

This is merely a personal preference.  This didn't come down from Mt
Sinai with Moses.  This is not one of the TEN Commandments, merely one
of hundreds of suggestions.  Remember, my advice is free and it's
always worth every dime you pay for it.  If it doesn't work for you,
you get all your money back.  How can you lose?
