Doing unisons aurally is really the only way to go. Every once in awhile I have to tune them with the SAT but that's only when it is just plain too noisy to hear anything anyway. > If you purposely tune your unisons to a small variation to have them sound > sweet of course that means the piano is already closer to going out of > tune. Perhaps ... ... I know for myself that I aim for the *sweet spot* in tuning unisons. I haven't tried measuring the differences between strings when I do hit the *sweet spot* -- I just know when I've hit it because the piano just sounds so much better. Then the challenge is to keep it there. > We strive for perfection knowing we will never reach it but no matter, it > is still our goal. > James Grebe > R.P.T. of the P.T.G. from St. Louis, MO.
