when both are present , yes I can tell you they are not the same, and
I can make them the same, I can not tell you which is which though

just I can match a refence note to 1000th of a cent

As a player George I get what you're trying to say, matching pitches is
easy
if you've done it before. But the numbers are a bit hard to claim
considering Peterson strobe tuners are accurate to (1 / 10 of one cent,
or
0.006%) so good luck measuring your accuracy. maybe with a dual trace
scope
though.
