hi all, I just bought a used SAT II which has the FAC feature, but I'm a little stumped. I set and stored my 3 FAC stretch numbers. After that I strip muted my piano (Baldwin 40" console), and when I got to A4, I noticed the cents deviation was 5.8! Souldn't A4 ALWAYS be perfect at 440? So I went back and re-entered the FAC again, (i.e., tuning one string of A4 while the SAT is at "A5 and Zero cents", the up 1 octave to A6 on the SAT, then playing A4 again, but stopping the dots with the cents buttons) but each time, A4 was diviating about the same amount: 5.8 cents sharp. Is this to normal for a stretch tuning? Can I adjust the SAT to 0.0 at A-4 WITHOUT throwing all the other calculations for the stretch out of whack? BTW, my 3 stretch numbers are: F3= 17.1 A4= 5.8 C6= 3.6 -16 @ A0 to +32.4 @C8 is the low/high stretch. Thanks.
