Hello. If no one minds, I'd like to post a question to my fellow Veritunists re octave stretch and Unequal Temperaments. (Or, to any one else that has an opinion.) When tuning in ET, the recommended protocol is to use "Average Stretch" for most pianos. (It is, in fact, the default setting.) However, it's also recommended that the "Clean" setting be used for spinets and "Expanded" setting be used for large grands. Would these same protocols apply when tuning in an UT? Or, would the "Clean" setting be best for all pianos tuned in an UT, regardless of size? Or, are there some UTs where one octave stretch strategy would be best, while others where another would be best? Also, are there any UTs in the Verituner's memory where tuning with A equalling a frequency other that 440 c.p.s. would be preferable? I'm only just beginning to explore the Verituner's UTs (Tonight I used the "Factory tuners of 1840." LUVVED it!) Thank you in advance for your help and advice. -Joe G.
