How We Hear

[Bernhard Stopper]

Hi Don,
a small difference in the string length of the strings of one note is
sufficient that the partial offsets of the strings are different (due to
different inharmonicity or material differences). Tuning the unisons
aurally, can integrate the differences to a minimum. If only 1 partial is
measured, the results you described can occur. That´s why is still trust
more in aural tuning than with ETD´s, until the human´s brain sound
processing on the hardwired neuronal structure level (to say it with André´s
word "EAR") is not fully understood.

regards,

Bernhard
