Subj: Re: [kl] On a matter of pitch
Date: Thu, 7 Nov 2002 10:14:09 -0500

I have a new R-13, and am using a Seiko ST757, I wonder how the following
stacks up in the pitch department, not knowing what is good or bad.

Caveat: this is an average. I find tones can vary +- 2,depending on what I
am doing. Okay so it is in the morning and I've had too much coffee.

I have tried to achieve as steady a tone as I know how, and I take the
reading when the meter locks for more than a few seconds. I certainly may
not be doing this correctly.

Starting from low E on up, humidity 40 degrees, temp 69.8

Pitch 441

E -1
F -2
F# -3
G +1
G# +2
E +1
F 00
F# 00
C 00
C# -3
D -2
D# -4
E -4
F -3
F# 00
G 00
G# 00
A 00
A# 00
B 00
C +3
C# +5
D +7 (yikes, but I know the reason for this. I opened the bottom B/E
to get the low G to speak more cleanly. It needs to be adjusted. Carefully)
E +3 !! (proves the point)
F 00
F# +2
G +2
G# 00
A 00 (absolutely dead on)
A# -1
B 00
C 00
