This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment The partials of C1 are C1,C2,G2,C3,E3,G3,[Bb3],C4... The partials of C2 are C2,C3,G3,C4,E4,G4,[Bb4],C5... A 2:1 octave would match the C2 frequency of the two strings. A 4:2 octave would match the C3 frequency of the two strings. A 6:3 octave would match the G3 frequency. You can also set up tuning parameters for other matches such as 4:1, = 3:2, 8:1, etc.=20 The selection is somewhat a matter of taste. The general pattern seems = to be 6:3 in the bass to 4:2 in the treble. I am experimenting with 8:1 = octaves in both bass and treble, and find it very sweet. I use Tunelab = and don't know if Verituner has an 8:1 setting.=20 Jason ----- Original Message -----=20 From: pbmosley=20 To: pianotech@ptg.org=20 Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 7:12 AM Subject: octave widths I have been using a verituner, and sometimes struggle with octave = widths. I am trying to use the partial list that the machine gives me = to determine the best octave widths. What are the mathematical = principles I need to calculate the widths. I have a list of all 8 = partials, how would I determine from those numbers what the width of a = 2:1 octave would be if I tuned to the 4:2 numbers, or 6:3. Looking at = the numbers can I determine what the best stretch for any individual = piano from these numbers? I guess I am trying to get beat speeds from = cents measurements and understanding their relationship quickly before = each tuning.
