GUEST,Ian Stephenson Piano Tuning vs Guitar Tuning (39) RE: Piano Tuning vs Guitar Tuning 29 Mar 00

DOES EVERYBODY REMEMBER PASCALS TRIANGLE?????
This is relevant because he also wrote another law about frequency and dividing wires in thirds or something.

IF YOU TUNE A PIANO IN FOURTHS AND EVERY NOTE IS PERFECTLY IN TUNE WITH THE LAST, THEN WHEN YOU GET TO THE TOP, THEY WILL SOUND QUITE FLAT. tO COMPENSATE THIS, PIANO TUNERS TUNE NOTE TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE KEYBOARD FLATTER THAT PERFECT, AND THE TOP ONES SHARP.

This is also true with guitar tuning. If you tune the top strings very slightly sharp, and the bottom two a little flat, then your chords should sound the nearest to perfect that anyone can get. no matter where on the fretboard you play.
