I have been an aural tuner for 35 years but used an SAT II for the nine years I was at Rutgers University because I had 145 pianos to try to keep in tune, and working, and I HATE tuning in practice rooms. Now, that I am retired, I use both. I have done a lot of shooting in my youth and the impact sound pressure levels can reach 115 dB in the high treble so my hearing is not what it was forty years ago. Many pianos I can hear all the way up but some defy almost any ear. I _know_ what I want to hear and I know what I want to see so I use my SAT as an adjunct to my ears. Newton
