Aural Tuning - Pianos with High Inharmonicity

[A440 Piano Service]

 Hi,

The article referred to below, entitled "Tuning the F3-A3 Third With Ease", is found in the March 2006 PTG Journal.  This article also has a sidebar including the Stebbins article excerpt from the December 1994 Journal.  I know because I just re-discovered it and have started playing with it and I like this method.  I'll be taking my tuning exam in April and I plan on using this method.  Wish me skill!

Hope this helps,
John Dorr,
Helena, MT

      Hi Greg,

      Have you looked at the PACE tuning lesson books? 
      Also, maybe search out the George Defebaugh
      temperament sequence. Using contiguous M3rds may help
      because their beat speeds are faster and easier to
      hear than relying only on 4ths and 5ths. 

      There is a great way to set the F3-A3 major 3rd
      accurately for any piano. (was it Jack Stebbins'
      method?) It has been written about recently in the
      Journal maybe a year or two ago. Maybe someone can
      chime in with the month/yr. and title of that article.
      It uses contiguous M3rds above and below F3-A3 to set
      its beat speed exactly between these two outer M3rds.
