>>how can a finished tuning that has a number of strings on which no attempt has been made to settle and stabilize them be a decent and solid tuning? Those strings have dropped (or risen) to the correct pitch by mere chance. On the first pass skill and experience (and/or ETD computations) put you in the ball park. Some of those strings just happen to end up spot on... mad isn't it?!! Mick Danby CMIT
