 Oh, I like this. Any CTE volunteers for KC? Dale, can this be done????

This is done all the time but you don't really hear about it because it is of 
no real consequence.  Master Tunings are compared at the end of the Annual 
Convention sessions.  Since there is always a tolerance from absolute values, 
you see small variations in the figures that each group comes up with but 
virtually none of them consitute any kind of "error".

Having three different groups of technicians produce a Master tuning woulld 
result in three identically sounding tunings.  There would not be much point 
in doing that.

Now, please don't read all kinds of offensive things into what I have just 
said and demand that I be thrown off this List, out of PTG and off the 
planet, for that matter.  It isn't going to happen.  Just accept the fact 
that maybe I sometimes might know what I'm talking about or I might not spend 
so much time doing it, just as I would expect you and anyone who posts an  
answer to a question to be providing information, not judgmental opinions or 
character assasinations.

We need more frank and to-the-point answers to questions and less posturing 
and demeaning quips.
