tuning time

[Don]

Hi Jack,

For me a concert tuning should involve no net change in pitch on any note
(2 cents or preferrably less). So one is essentially cleaning unisons.
Therefore a concert tuning for me takes no more than about 30 minutes.
Longer if I use an EDT.

I believe the worlds record for raising pitch 100 cents is held by Steve
Fairchild--at 300 seconds! Now *THAT* is bionic.
