Do you have to attach a mic when you use it? jeannie -----Original Message----- From: owner-pianotech@ptg.org [mailto:owner-pianotech@ptg.org]On = Behalf Of Joseph Alkana Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2001 5:08 PM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Re: Reyburn RCT computer platforms. Rich, My current machine is an older Sony VAIO 505TS. Size is 10.2" x = 0.87" x 8.2". At 2.69 lbs it finds a home just about anywhere on a = piano, on a bench, chair, coffee table, floor, anywhere. If you can = find one of these machines reconditioned I believe it will be well worth = the price of usually less than $900. I never rely on the battery as = using the customers electricity with an .89 cent extension cord serves = me well. I'm curious as to why so many electronic tuners find it = necessary to want their machines located right on top of them? They work = just fine a few feet away if it makes it more convenient to place them = that way for a given piano. Sometimes you have to move them around just = to get a reading anyhow, so strapping one down with a cumbersome gizmo = just doesn't seem handy to me. Of course we're all still * w a i t i n g * for RCT to be available = in a handheld computer. Seems like the next logical machine for me. I'd = put my beer down and go out in the shop to weigh my COMPAQ iPAC pocket = pc on the gram scale, but it sure couldn't be very much. Now that will = be portability and convenience!

PCG-SR33K has been suggested. or the SR17. What is you favorite place to put the laptop when tuning? Have you invented a bracket that works?
