Same here, also double oct+5ths and evenly ascending 17ths that don't start sounding wolfie until around Db41 and F69 or maybe higher. And in the bass 10th and 17ths slowing down evenly all the way to A1 and Db29 having a very slow beat. I ask what does HT sound like in the treble and bass ? I know if I am having a bad day or for whatever reason my temperment is "off" those tests will keep haunting me until I finally go back and make a better temperment. With discrepencies being magnified 2X per octave would'nt there have to be an awful lot of fidgeting going on trying to keep those HT wolves at bay ? Tom Ayers Pianosrv@aol.com
