I recently tuned an SD-10 and as my hearing was dulled by a head cold I deliberately let the FAC pick the last octave stretch. The owner complained that it sounded flat and I ended up with C8 25 cents sharper before she was satisfied. The Sojin I tuned yesterday, which was 15 cents flat at A4, had a C8 that was just shy of a D8 even though B7 was 100 cents flat at the end of the pitch correction. It's a strange old world, isn't it?
