I think the highest noise environment I have to work in is between sets at the jazz club.
With everybody talking and my head completely inside the piano, I can sort of make a
unison sound a little better. If it's real bad. With the Cybertuner, the pattern is a little
jumpy in the mid-range but it's still possible to tune real nice unisons. I think you need
to turn off the auto-switching feature, though. Also, today, I tuned the treble section of a
piano with the maid vacuuming in the room. Didn't have to stop her. I believe Dean did
say that a vacuum might be a problem - maybe he meant in lower ranges.
