tuning

[Howard S. Rosen]

Carlos,

1.Tune A4 from fork
2.Tune D4 pure (beatless) 5th down from A4. You check this 5th by using F3
even though it has not been tuned yet. The test is F-D 6th equal to F-A
10th. As long as F3 beats comfortably and is EQUAL, the test is correct
even though the F3 has not been tuned yet.
