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. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no http://home.broadpark.no/~rbrekne/ricmain.html
