I don't agree Terry. I have always liked the amount of stretch my SAT 3 gives me. This may be due to the fact that most of my clients are home pianos and not in a concert setting but I think it is mostly a matter of taste. I purchased the customer list of a technician who passed away about a year ago and I find the top 7 or 8 notes of pianos he tuned to have WAY too much stretch. C8 can be almost 80 cents sharp! That was the way he learned to tune and his ear was used to hearing pianos that way. I remember how amazed I was when I found out there was NO right or wrong in tuning! It can be VERY subjective and a matter of the tuners (or CUSTOMERS) taste. Keep reading and contributing to the list. I can't beleive how much knowledge there is here! Keith M.
