Verituner - tuning sequence, etc

[Isaac OLEG SIMANOT]

Hello,

It sure may work, probably we don't go in the trouble of muting the strings
only for sampling, because it is not our use to do that, but I guess it may
be the way.

Beside, when I tune a piano at pitch, I simply use a similar piano file,
tune 'aurally with the VT', and end with a so called 'superior tuning for
that piano in the VT.

As my final checks are aural only, I don't take time to check it against the
VT most of the time.
As I told before, I like the tuning to have some color in, not only absolute
rightness, or only the appearance of. So the end of the tuning I check the
flavor of fifths and expanded, tenths and expanded, and so on ...

I can't accept the idea of a machine producing a superior tuning, or a
machine producing any tuning at all in fact, but they put you on the way
more or less precisely. (and at that , the VT100 is best choice BMO)

May be I am wrong too.

Just my thoughts.
