Of course you dont want to take a Peterson into the home and use 4 hours or so to manually do something that another device does automatically. Thats not at issue. The question is whether the Peterson can be used to quickly do a tuning which is just as acceptable as the other ETD's. As I think we have covered a good deal of our reasoning already I will refer back to earlier posts. The Verituner perhaps approaches the whole matter from different angle. It might have to given the patents held by Sanderson. Even Dean ran into some problems with those. In anycase until I know more for sure about just exactly how it decides frequencies for each tone I cant really include that in this discussion aside from saying that it keeps getting impressive reviews, and that I am a believer in the basic idea of a multipartial approach to deciding how any note fits into a tuning curve.
