Affleck Piano Tuning?(and Yamaha PT100/Verituner)

[Joe And Penny Goss]

James,
I think that the key word here is (reliable).
While it is possible to use this little book to tune a piano, the results
may not be all that easy, well actually until you learn what and how to it
never is. The learning curve you know.
The PT 100 is  still available but not through the supply houses like it
once was. While there are still those who use it to tune, they seem to only
use it to set the temperment and tune the rest by ear.
It uses only a few stretch patterns taken from Yamaha pianos. These patterns
do not match up with all the many pianos that you will tune, as the scale of
different pianos ie.
