Thanks, Ryan -- I am very reassured by your explanation. Nevertheless, sooner you than me!

Boy oh boy, Ryan, for me the challenge would have been taking the thing apart so I could tune it. Does the electric-powered rectangular solid on the top lift off? What is it, anyhow? And are there ordinary tuning pins? You just have to remove a few screws to flip up the portion of the lid that is covering the tuning pins. Yep, ordinary tuning pins in there. I enjoyed tuning it - it was much quicker than a regular tuning - no trichords and not a full 88 notes. In regards to the curve shown in the manual - It pretty much looks like a standard Railsback curve. Those numbers don't flatten the bass enough for my ears. As I said I have no idea what partial those cases figure refer to. It is possible that this is for the 4th partial in basses.

.....
Jeff, Do you use such a tool ? would love to see a pic if so ? thanks ,michael Thank you Unright Tooner!
Do you use the Stopper Duodecima method?
He uses such an tool. Here are pictures of the "spanner" that I made and use. I strive for pure 3:1 12th with plain wires and the most resonant octave and 12th with wound strings. If you want to know how this might compare with what Mr. Stopper does, you should ask him.  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/forum/gallery/42/medium/3474.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/forum/gallery/42/medium/3475.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/forum/gallery/42/medium/3476.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/forum/gallery/42/medium/3477.jpg)

Thanks Jeff, Do you find you use it a lot ? The only time I don't use it is tuning the temperament and unisons. Well, unless I am doing a pitch raise...

That is quite clever!

That is quite clever! Not really. See, I started out trying to make a boomerang...
