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. Newton
