Approx. = 125CM high, made in Leipzig, Germany by ???. Not Ronisch. Has a Renner = action, lovely cabinet but the bass. I can't say lousy choice of piano, she paid cash to a major store in = Sydney, played the piano several times before deciding, all the right = things but. I tuned the piano yesterday (raised pitch from 20 cents to 65 cents = flat) and she played it after and said 'C1 doesn't sound right' Checked = it by ear and all is OK, asked her what she thought was wrong to which = she replied that it 'sounded more like a G note' asked her how her pitch = recognition was to which she replied 'pitch perfect' switched on = computer and clicked onto the new TuneLab Pro, played C1 and checked the = partials. Partial 3 =3D 100 partial 4 =3D 45.. Showed this to customer and explained that the fundamental is very low = (absent) in the lower bass but the harmonics are very rich, what she is = hearing is the 3rd harmonic of C which is G. Tuned the note up, she tested, tuned the note down, she tested, put it = back where it was, she tested and said now its OK. I didn't like the scaling of the bass, the treble was OK but the bass ? Question. Why is this C1 note so heavy on the 3rd partial and so low on the 2nd = and 4th. And, how can you increase the 2nd and 4th to make it sound like = a "C" note. ?
