Last post you said you could measure the frequencies of ghosttones without a tuner, using a metronome and a second string. Will you outline the exact procedure for doing this so I can proof your method? > The principle of this is explained in my spreadsheet which I > posted last week I just reread it. You only posted the spreadsheet data with no explanation of the principle of beat frequencies. Be sure to include it in the next post. Thanks.
