Using keys "< >" you may select one of the following stretchings.
Number 1 (VERY SLIGHT) Bass and Descant stretched slightly.
Number 2 (SLIGHT) Bass and Descant stetched.
Number 3 (STR.MODERATE) Bass and Descant stretched heavily.
Number 4 (STR.PRONOUNCED) Bass weak, center portion stretched heavily.
Number 5 (MEMORY) Self stored stretching

(STR.MODERATE): Press ">" 3 times
Press "E"
Press "<" 4 times
Press "E"
Now you may start tuning. Start with tone a' and tune all three
strings. Continue with b', h', c'', etc. At one of the higher tones
you may see the following display (for example):
The Tuning Set is now considering preselected stretching. Any deviation from standard tune is
indicated in CENTS on the lower display line.
After you have finished tuning the descant, start tuning downward beginning with g#'. The
deeper tones will automatically be tuned lower according to the preselected stretching. The
deviation again shows on the lower line of the display.
In this particular mode, the cent-adjustment follows a function, which is dependent on the
octave range. It is therefore very important to ascertain the correct octave range on the Tuning
Set. Errors can be avoided by progressing in semi-tone steps.
