Counter bearing treatment

[Terry Beckingham]

Roger,

Your observations don't quite agree with what Virgil Smith said at his
tuning seminar in Calgary. He says that the addition of the third string
does not cause a further lowering of the pitch. Of course he may not have
used an RCT  for his measurements.

Cheers
