>...That's what I usually do, but have been curious about which note (or >area) you "floaters" use to determine the pitch level... >Avery Nobody's mentioned it yet, so I will. After strip muting I visually read the notes on each piano usually from A1 up through C7 with RCT to get a general idea of pitch location, make the necessary pitch adjustment, and reread the piano as often as necessary to eventually make a decision on where to float the pitch. Before I owned RCT, I did the same thing with the SAT unit. Both are invaluable for this one procedure. The visual readout takes very little time, provides a tremendous amount of information, and accomplishes the least amount of tuning changes possible when allowable.
