A brief comment re the Verituner100.... I have spent over 20 years tuning ET by ear. I shall never return to the old methods except for tuning unisons and to verify the results given by Verituner100. I am in awe. I know others will find their own methods and procedures, but I'll tell you mine. I simply strip mute, tune A4 and work chromatically towards the tenor / bass break, or, until I can get some of the wound strings into the mix. Then, I check my octaves and then my 3rds, 4ths, 5ths, etc. for good progression. If I don't like what I'm getting, (and I usually do at this point ) I don't waste time trying to figure out what's wrong like in the "old days." Since the machine has data on all the strings I've already tuned, I let it do the work. I just hit RECALC. Then I go back to A4 and tune down chromatically again. This time to A0. Then I go to A#4 and tune up chromatically to C8. It's that easy. I've already used this on some of my most knowledgeable customers....they love the results. So do I. -Joe
