Hi Bill, I realize this is probably just a little picky, but isn't C4 the coincident partial for an 8:4 octave. I believe G3 would be the coincident partial for a 6:3 octave of C1-C2.

If you have decided that you want to tune a 6:3 octave, which would probably be a good choice, hold down the keys C1 and C2 without sounding them. (You can hold them open with the Sostenuto pedal if the piano has one and it is working properly). Now strike but do not hold the note C4 which is the coincident partial for those two notes and that kind of octave. >>
