| Guys I have just changed a U12 to a Ext. E 9th. I been doing some changing on my tuning. It sounds good to my ear, but maybe some of you have a better idea. My Es , Bs & F#s are 442. My G#s , D#s are 439. My Fs are 438. My Bbs are also 439. C#s are 440. My lead man says he likes the sound. Give me your imput. Thanks, Jim Yoder |

Those numbers sound about right to me. I tune to cents offsets, but related to A=440Hz those are in the same ballpark.
PS: Most bands that I play with use electronic tuners.

Even people who use electronic tuners don't always play in tune. You have to learn to use your ears, too. |

| Jasen you are right. You have to use your ear. I do like tuning to the off cents system. Some of the older players I know have never done this & it's all greek to them. They just stay with 440. Thanks for your input. Jim Yoder. |
