TO TUNE A GUITAR WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF THE EAR.

Make one string to sound, and its vibrations will, with much force,

be transferred to the next string: this transference may be seen by

placing a saddle of paper (like an inverted v, Λ) upon the

string, at first in a state of rest. When this string _hears_ the

other, the saddle will be shaken, or fall off; when both strings are in

harmony, the paper will be very little, or not at all, shaken.
