Re: [Harp-L] Stretching Exercises

["Splash!" <celtiac@xxxxxxxxx>]

Great info.  I haven't got to the tuning stages yet, so I saved this email 
in my Harp Tweaking folder.

The human ear might not be able to tell 3c in a blind experiment, but you 
sure can hear if a note is not zero-beat with another.  It's one way I get 
precise tuning on my guitars by listening to the beats and harmonics and 
zeroing them.  It sounds better farther up the neck that way.  If I use the 
chromatic tuner and tune those notes right on pitch, they have to be tweaked 
again to get them to sound spot on.



Thanks again for real info I can use.

They may be textbook perfect formula wise and  sound like crap. Reeds are 
ornery critters and since they mess with
you, you gotta mess with them till they behave.

We all end up finding something that works for us by trusting our ears and 
being stubborn enough to keep tuning till we get the hang of it.
