List: I use a Peterson Model 520 Audio/Visual Tuner to help me with the temperament and do everything else aurally. I happened upon doing things this way because there was a 520 in the department when I was a music teacher (I have a Master of Music degree). It was during that time I started messing around with piano tuning. I'm not proud of the way I got started, but them's the facts, folks! When I took the tuning test, I passed the temperament using the strobe but actually scored better doing the aural temperament. The CTE asked why I use the thing. For me it's still a little faster because I'm used to doing it this way and I've gotten no complaints, but I'm still hankering after an SAT or RCT. Maybe one of these days! Incidentally, the procedures that interest me most are those which yield better results and yet take less time. Will my using an SAT or RCT meet these two criteria? Clyde Hollinger, RPT Lititz, PA
