Verituner Review

[Isaac sur Noos]

Hi Joe :
1°You may have tested the first verion of the spinner, the actual one
include a needle that is really slow enough to give you a good
information even while the Vt is yet listening and computing.

2° when you use the second time the VT (second pass tuning, or another
day) It is absolutely stable enough to read the pitch (with the
display or the numbers) at a precision of a few 1/10 of a cent.

when we are here we are yet tuning, (vs looking at some display) I for
sure don't look much at the machine, once the medium is tuned the road
is straight.

As you said , the tuner do tune, personally I certainly don't wish to
compute a tuning, I want to tune the piano and have a machine I can
trust enough to know that the tuning it propose will likely be the
same I  obtain. Indded that does not drive to a lot of fantasy, but
the tunings obtained with the Vt fall exaclty in the marks of previous
tuners, and with a little more refinement.
Sometime I have to change among the styles, or vary a tad the strech,
but I don't like it, better close the machine it is faster to finish
by ear most of the time.

Then I don't se why to worry about it. What I find in the use of the
Vt is the ability to add a larger tone to pianos that are originally
substancdard, as I meet in schools often, been told also that I give a
"German tone " to pianos ...

Thanks again for the tools pictures and infos on the CP70.

Best Regards.
