To find out if they sense the difference in some otherway would be quite the chore... a-whole-nother matter as to the importance of that issue. But thats really beside the point. Whats wrong with just wanting to know for myself ? Its a fair question me thinks.... Does the single partial precalculated curve (RCT and SAT) perform just as well as the multipartial continuously updated tuning (Verituner). We dont really know the tuning critera for the Verituner, tho some of us know pretty much how the SAT and RCT go about their calculations. At the heart of this may lie some very interesting tuning issues... ones I would think many of us should be rightly very curious about. As to whether or not my mind is playing tricks on me or not... well hey.. I am human... of course I could be allowing personal prejudice to trick me... all the more reason to answer the question if you ask me. And as for being happy that I dont get complaints.... well now Bob... is that all you ask of yourself ??? really ??... Btw... I just had MICHEL CAMILO in town... we moved a 9 foot Hamburg S&S across town, tuned down from 442 to 440, different climate, different pitch, lights on... Michel explodes on the instrument for two sets and the next morning used 10 minutes to make sure all was well. The piano didnt move at all. Not getting real complaints is the easy part. > > I am anxious to experience the Verituner and to that end our Chapter > is hosting Dave Patterson to demonstrate its virtues.

I hope you give it a real critical lookover and give us your considered thoughts. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway mailto:rbrekne@broadpark.no
