Peterson 490ST Strobe tuner....good?

[Bradley M. Snook]

RicB, what is it about tuning curves that have you unconvinced?

The real problem that I have with the strobe tuners is that, even though
there is some means of adjustment, the tuning curves are based on generic
models, not that of specific measurement taken from the piano on which you
are working. There are so many ways of generating specialized tuning curves,
so indeed, there is no one way to approach the issue of inharmonicity.

I am not so crazy about the software that is currently available, but I do
like the approaches that are being taken. Software simply gives the
technician more information on which to make decisions.
