Re: Intonation and Tuning Issues

On my Buffet RC (when warmed up), I end up with the barrel pulled out about 3-mm and the center joint about 1-1/2 mm.

Try tuning your open G with the tuning barrel and then tune your third line C and middle C with the center joint.

Then check the rest of your right and left hand clarion register notes. Compromise to get a good balance amongst the other notes in your scale.

Although I end up with pretty big gaps in the bore at the bottom of the barrel and between the joints, nothing bad seems to come of them. I have not used tuning rings because I need to fiddle with my tuning and sometimes such as when cold or following the strings up in pitch, need to push in from these nominal "pulls."
