Octave Tuning

[Richard Brekne]

Yes Dean. That is correcto.

To take things a step further.... to insure a very nice eveness its wise 
to use several chromatic runs when checking through the final time. I 
find that if you run chromatic triple, double and single octaves, and 
12ths and 19ths and just listen for eveness, that any note that is 
slightly off, yet seemingly ok by any given single test will stick out 
on one or more of those chromatic runs. Adjust as necessary any that 
stick out so that they fit nicely into all these chromatic runs.
