The addition of seismic parameters to stellar-model calibrations substantially increases the constraints one can place on the properties of stars. We present some preliminary calculations to assess the accuracy with which certain stellar parameters can be inferred. For simplicity we use just two of the three most basic seismic parameters characterizing the low-degree p modes that might be measured from intensity variations by instruments such as photometers planned for the ESA spacecraft PRISMA. We ascertain the accuracy of a calibration of an isolated star and of a cluster of N solar-type stars.
