Measure the stretch number for the first unwound string above the wound tenor strings, for example a G. This might give you a 16.3 or whatever. Simply step down to the F6 and enter it in. David I.

I couldn't remember the alternate (SAT) method for calculating the stretch. I normally Measure my FAC starting at F3, providing it is plain wire, which it alsmost always is. Can someone (who uses SAT) refresh my memory as to the alternate way to measure FAC when there are wound strings at F3? > > Also, when first checking pitch, if you find that a piano is only 5 or so cents or less in the bass and mid-section, but way flat, say 15+ cents flat in the high treble, do you still charge for a pitch raise? > > Terry > > > ______________________________________________________________ > Get free Internet service and email at http://www.worldspy.com > David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA ilvey@jps.net
