SAT Stretch numbers

It takes two or three minutes to take mesaurements for a piano.  The
FAC numbers will change slightly from season to season and especially
from piano to piano.  "Generic" tuning, to my mind, are useless. 
Create your own and keep a record of where they are.  FInding out what
you have is of no real value to you and is nothing more than an
exercise in data one-upmanship.

Where the SAT truly shines is to store a modified tuning to fit a
particular piano, especially one that you tune on a regular basis. 
Now THAT speeds things up, especially if you do that piano and a
weekly or daily basis.

Learn to use the tool then watch your aural tunings improve like
crazy.

Lots of luck.
