Hi Steve, I guess there is no harm. But... If you really want to learn, there is no better way than the hard way. When my father started to teach me tuning, he did not use temperament felt mute. He had been tuning with rubber wedges and so had his father. When I found out about temperament felt strips through PTG, I had to convert him but I never really succeded. He always said that he could hear better with all 3 strings sounding and that his tunings were more stable. And you know what, I now think he was right. I would suggest that you try and work at setting the temperament with all 3 strings. Yes, it is more work and it will take you more time, but you will get better because once your temperament will be set, well it will be set. Maybe you don't have to work this way all the time, but I think it would be great practice for you and really help you on the long run. And hey, you are learning. And who said that learning had to be easy?
