I have tuned both concert hall D's at UA for 5 months now and I always tune 
them to the canned tuning in my SATIII. The first couple of times I tried to 
make a few changes, but found that the changes I made corresponded with what 
the machine was telling me. What I wasn't doing was making absolutely sure 
the lights stood still. 

The other thing I found is that I educated the piano players to the tuning I 
put on the piano. With the tuning being consistent, the players know what to 
expect. They like what they hear, compliment me on it, and now expect the 
piano to sound that way every time. This has also educated me. I used to hear 
it different (I didn't stretch the upper octaves as much). 

This has saved me a lot of time. All I do now is turn on the SATIII and let 
it do the tuning for me. The only time I "experiment," is with some of the 
practice room pianos. But even then, I usually go back to what the canned 
tuning tells me. The only other time I experiment, is on a piano that is not 
in the machine, and I have to set my own FAC. Then I rely more on my ear to 
tell me if it right or not.
