Since I just bought Tunelab for the iPAQ, I'd like to see similar comparison
tests with it. (At least I THINK I would.) It was just so darn much less
than the RCT ...

I've about decided that I really want to become almost a strictly aural
tuner. I love the ETD's for pitch raises, bad scale analysis, and the top
octave ... but it seems like I spend way too much time watching the lights,
kinda makes me a slave to making them stop dead. Since individual notes are
going to drift slightly as their neighbors are pulled up, anyway, is it
really worth the aggravation?

How have AURAL vs. ETD tune-offs come out, speed wise? (For anyone who
remembers the 60's: This all sounds like John Henry, the steel-driving man,
going up against the steam hammer, doesn't it?)

Ducking. Covering. INCOMING!!!

  Thanks for the information, Hazen. These kind of direct experiments are
what we need more of in this profession.

    Hi,
      I have been using an Accutuner for years,and bought Pocket RCT at the
Chicago convention last year.Today I had to tune some practice room pianos
at Erskine College,and used the RCT for the first time.I actually set up
both units,and tuned each note from A0 up,with both at the same time.They
differed only slightly,in a few places.One was right below the first
break,another right at the next treble break.I believe you would have gotten
a good tuning with either unit,as it was not a major difference.The last
octave and a half,the Accutuner seemed to really want more stretch,but I
could have taken it gone with either way.The piano was a Yamaha U1.
    Best,
    Hazen Bannister
