Hi all. After my last CS80 tuning (and with a few more coming up), I thought of a way to make tuning the beast easier and faster and not even require test equipment (although that makes it a little easier). The tuning procedure requires one to tune the highest A in the highest octave (2-foot) range and then the lowest A in all four octave ranges. I just created mp3 files of sine waves for each of these five frequencies using SoundForge. The files are in the Files section (duh...) under folder "Tuning tones" (http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/yamahacs80/files/Tuning%20tones) Just play the files in repeat mode on your favorite device. If you have a good ear (and wide-range speakers/headphones) you can do the tuning completely by ear, just using beats. It's a little easier, especially on the highest and lowest frequencies, to use a cheap oscilloscope. See my post from a couple of months ago (http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/yamahacs80/message/1452) for the details. Please let me know if this is works well for you. David
