I've been tuning my temperament octave in C ever since I started with Aubrey Willis's correspondence piano tuning course at age 12. I'm 52 now. Since moving to Prescott AZ from NYC my spinet to grand ratio has at least doubled. I was struggling with a really cheap console the other day and I said to myself, "boy, this would be working a lot better if I were doing it a major 6th higher where the strings have less inharmonicity." And I was wondering what it would take to learn a new temperament technique. But then I thought, why don't I just download StroboSoft for my PowerBook for 80 bucks. How can that be anything but more precise. I used to think that tuning the temperament was part of the art of piano tuning. At least the customers must think it's magic as I play all these interesting combinations of notes. Or I could spend another grand and get visual assistance for those pesky top few notes. Anybody have experience with StroboSoft? The web site says it's not too reliable for the far reaches of the piano but I would just use it for the temperament.
