Re: Re: Re: tuning a nine button box

Where I work we are required to have a hearing test every year and am very fimilar with what happens to peoples ears as they get older. So don't give me that bull crap about Mark's tuning abilities. His ears aren't that good anymore and besides I have visited his shop in off hours and he has a strobe tuner which he uses very well.

Re: Re: Re: tuning a nine button box

Yeah, that's what it is, mine is way out of tune.

Re: Re: Re: Re: tuning a nine button box

I love it. Nothing sounds better than an in-tune guy on an out-of-tune box.

Yea you right!!!

Re: Re: Re: Re: tuning a nine button box

Probably not!! But a good strobe tuner works wonders if you want that kind of accuracy. Consider that the human ear can not hear if a note is off a cent or less.

Re: tuning a nine button box

I guess if the reeds are off a wee bit, we will just call it WET tuned.

excuses

sorry guys,
didn't want to upset you. Shouldn't mention names
but if "out of tune sounds great", the final tuning with electronic gear is wrong. OK?
But I always thought that the cajuns were the best in getting the real sound out of a box? What's their secret?

The secret to the whole tuning thing is----- the secret.
