I had a blast yesterday. I started out tuning an old 50s MB that was still in good shape and 7 limit just.  I was tuning to get rid of the beats and noticed my tuning app was still open and was picking up the ghost tones. That was kind of cool in itself but then I noticed as I tuned the regular notes the cents on the ghost note would change. This A harp A5 + C#6 = A3 -5 cents and C#6 + E6 = A3 +29 cents..... It sounds terrible but not as bad as the draw side. I also noticed that harp ninja will pick them up too. If you don't see it click on the keyboard and they will show up there. I spent a whole afternoon chasing ghosts, and had a blast. Oh and I got the harp's first tuning done and it's resting for a few days till the next session.
