Greetings, Anyone into photgraphy knows a term called "bracketing" your exposure. Is where you take a photograph at 3 different "f stops" -->(lens apeture openings).....so that youre sure to get the picture. Well...I find that octaves are like that. To me, they are a mystery. I thought from my very first week of tuning, that they are the most difficult interval to tune, and I told the tuning teacher so. In other words, there seems to be a "range" they can be tuned in. After 7 years of tuning, I find that (especially with the taking on of tuning Valotti temperatment) in fact, 4ths, 5ths and Octaves have this "range" they can be tuned in. They can be tuned so perfect that theres this "cutting" off or they can be tuned so they have this "blooming" effect. Julia Reading, PA In a message dated 3/10/2009 5:02:09 P.M.
