So, has anyone kept a record of how badly the M400 Three Violins are out
of tune with each other and which keys are the worst offenders? I've
got 1407 back together and playing and I'm down to minute keyboard
adjustments and I'm wondering if there are certain notes that I just
shouldn't attempt to put that much time into. Most notes sound OK as
you're running up or down the keyboard, but if I try playing something
in unison an octave apart or certain chords, it becomes obvious there
are still some tuning problems. As my pinch rollers are finally spinning
like they have ball bearings, I guess I should check motor stability
and the SMS4 to make sure that issues aren't originating there.

Yes, actually. I have put this on a spread sheet. It is rather complicated.
On it I have taken into account motor stability, tape stretch, global
warming, potential pinch roller squeeze, humidity, shitty tape,
daylight savings time, gas prices, and the all important, "mean time
between failure," which I have calculated as, "any time now."
