Dear list.
Todays research was done on a Mason & Hamlin "AX3" #21710

Keep in mind that C-3 is the last wound string so this might affect
readings concerning that note
Real      F  6.7 A  6.8  C 7.3            top C =38.5c
Altered   "  6.7 "  7.8  " 7.3             "  "  39.6c

Real FAC readings        Altered FAC readings   ref note 
C3E3  12.8                  12.4                 E5
C4E4  14.5                  14.5                 E6
C5E5  11.1                  13.1                 E7

C3G5   1.0                  -0.4                 E5
C4G4  -1.5                  -1.6                 E6
C5G5  -8.0                  -7.9                 E7        


Anyone else interested in recording readings on some of your altered FAC
tuning and sharing them to see about some type of pattern? Any observations
on the numerical effects of doing this?
