Jon: I have two stored tunings for Steinway Ds. One for the recital hall, the other for a teaching studio. The recital hall tuning has C8 at 43.92 cents, (the tuning set up for 4:2 octaves in the treble and 8:4 in the bass). The studio tuning has C8 at 37.18 cents (set up for perfect 12ths in treble and bass). Actually, most of the time I tune wrapped strings aurally rather than trying to set to a particular partial. dp David M.

I have tweaked the style setting to stretch the octaves in a manner which emulates my aural tuning style. I have noticed that C8 is usually stretched to about +36c (less than what I was setting aurally, which was too high - broken strings). Where do others end up? I followed another tuner on a rental D recently and C8 was +60c, way too sharp for my taste. -- Regards, Jon Page _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
