By doing this the higher notes are tuned slightly sharp; read: the octaves are no longer perfect. Stretched tuning comes originally from the piano and (as far as I know) has something to do with the inharmonicities of the piano strings (some harmonics tend to go out of tune). The tuning procedure is done in "regular tuning". If you hold down a high note and move the switch you'll notice that the pitch goes very slightly up or down. If the pitch is higher you're in stretched tuning. > I'll put then a reference signal of 440 Hz on my A-channel of the scope and > the the B-channel will be connected to TP1 then. This probably won't help much when you try to tune C6. I suggest using a tuner. There are some free software tuners to be found although I can't say anything about their quality (I'm using a hardware tuner myself).
