You can slop in a tuning with 1 cent tolerences (from >Ed's post along similar lines) in 20 minutes or so. Um, does "slop in" used here refer to a 1 cent tolerance? The same 1 cent accepted by the Guild testing procedures? In other words, are you saying that a good tuning becomes a sloppy tuning if it varies by one cent? Also Richard, are you saying you can tune the same piano, with say, tunings a week apart, aurally, and have all 88 notes the same on both tunings, within less than 1 cent? I have never seen this happen. Especially when you consider the temperature change of a degree or two will render all this 1 cent precision an academic measurement. Wondering, Ed Foote RPT
