Re: [Harp-L] tune the higher notes sharper or lower? - Richard Sleigh vs. Pat Missin

[The Iceman <icemanle@xxxxxxx>]

human ear can not determine a difference in tones until they are at least 3 cents apart. this is based on info I learned as a piano tuner and based on laboratory type testing.

Search the Harp-L archives for "stretch", "octave" "tuning." There has been a 
discussion in the past about
the reason for "stretching" octaves for a harmonica, based on piano tuning.

I'm personally not too sure if I can distinguish a "stretched" octave from one 
tuned dead on; 2 cents is
a small amount to MY ears.
