that Korg one works for me, too. In order to avoid getting spoofed by overtones, I start tuning from the lowest string. I.e. first, I tune the basses, then their octaves from low to high, then courses five through one. Provided upper courses are out of tune, there cannot be falsification or distortion by overtones any more once a lower string is in tune. -- Regards, Mathias Mathias Roesel, Grosze Annenstrasze 5, 28199 Bremen, Deutschland/ Germany, T/F +49 - 421 - 165 49 97, Fax +49 1805 060 334 480 67, E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
