> 2.  Digital timer to time usage during a tuning.(Good to keep you on

> 3.  Digital display of the standard or fabricated FAC tunings, piano or
> customer names(rather than just the number.)(No more referring to printouts)
> 4.  Room Temperature and humidity display
> 5.  Friendlier directions for setting pitch raise, offsetting pitch etc.
> Onboard Help
> Here's some WAY-WAY-OUT ones:
> 6. Cell phone connection to the internet to retrieve unusual piano specs
> etc.
> 7. An onboard PDA to contain schedule, tuning history, maps, customer data
> etc.
> 8. A printer to print out invoices, receipts and  charge card.

Sure, I could think of plenty of others, but it already costs $1500.  With all those options, it'd probably be over $3 grand!  --Dave Nereson, RPT
