within a max of 10 cents sharp or flat as being relatively in tune.  More

I tuned pianos for a living for close to 10 years, and I can assure you
that a pitch that's 10 cents off sounds noticeably out of tune.  None of my
customers would have accepted that..

Try tuning the draw 4 or blow 6 reed 10 cents flat, play that against the
lower octave, and tell me whether you hear a difference.

Thanks, Richard Hunter
