Hi there good souls !

A bit back someone was mentioning about tuning the highest octaves such
that the note to be tuned was pure to the octave-5th below. As I have
been doing more or less the same, a tad bit more squezzed then that me
thinks feeling the need to keep the single octave from getting wild,  I
decided to whip out my brand spanking new Lifebook "P" and  use Tunelab
to force a dead on pure octave-5th below relationship starting with C6.
This works really well for a ways, but then it gets interesting relative
to single octaves from C7 up. Course increasingly the distance between
the pure single octave and the octave-5th gets larger. At some point tho
there is about 3 notes where its uncomfortable... then this passes. I
found that to be at around F7-G#7.... but on one Nordiska upright it
seemed to start right at C7 and by the time I was at E7 I could get away
with murder stretching the last notes.

Anyways... I found it interesting enough. Tunelab is a great name for
this program.
