    I draw a dial showing 0 at the top of the scale, marks off to the =
right showing sharp, and the same on the left showing flat.  Then I'll =
draw the needle where the tuning is now (way flat) and where it should =
be at 0.  I'll explain that when the string is tuned to 0 it will =
immediately fall back in the direction of flatness.  Out of tune.  Then =
I'll explain that tuning a small amount to the right will compensate for =
the drop in pitch, it will then be back to zero instead of below.  Maybe =
this is too complicated for most folks.......
    Using an EDT, I tune one string,  stop the spinner or lights, give =
it a few minutes to settle, and go back and show the customer that now =
it is flat, proving the need for two tunings.
