Hi everyone, Yes, as Ron N guessed, I'm sure just a sampling run through would give the VT (Verituner) all the info it needs to just single-pass a piano at pitch. Maybe it's just me, or the Chicago weather, but I only see a few pianos each year that aren't in need of a first pass before the fine tuning. (more than 10 cents off in any section) Most times, though the fine tuning takes less time than the pitch raise. Ron Koval Chicagoland Ron N wrote: Ron K, A question, if you would. Presuming the piano is close to pitch, wouldn't a similar (adequate?) result be gotten from sampling each note to ascertain the partial structure before doing a single pass tuning? I'm presuming this could be done a little faster than having to crank pins during the process of providing the machine with information to refine the calculations, as well as being easier on joints and muscles. I know two passes will statistically improve stability (lot of factors there), but from a stretch and interval balance standpoint, why wouldn't a pre-sampling do the job?
