They have actually taken several FAC tunings and averaged them out to come up with a tuning that is seemingly a decent tuning for that model of piano only. As we have already found out on this list in the past, each tuner seemingly has his/her one likes and dislikes when it comes to tuning a piano. For this it is best to come up with your best aural tuning for a given piano, and then enter that tuning into memory. Then if you don't like it, you have no one to blame but yourself! Good luck and have fun! John Elving, RPT
