I'm tempted to have the school buy one, just for the band, orchestra and guitar applications. I like how easy the display is to read for someone across the room. However, for our (piano) purpose, they've done some homework, but not quite enough. They base their calculation or creation of a good piano tuning on the 2:1 octave across the whole scale (not the best plan for a good tuning). It seems really cumbersome by the directions to have the machine calculate a tuning.(measuring each note for the fundamental, and then again for the 2nd partial) I think you could do a good job using this to help set the temperament, and then doing the rest by ear, or using the machine to keep tabs on where the notes are getting set. (keeps you from getting into too much trouble) For $400, it's competition seems to be the virtual strobe, by Peterson, which doesn't have any stretch options. If you are trying to save money, either check out Tunelab 97 (laptop), or if you would like some more help in creating the tuning, step up to Tunlab pro for either pocket PC, or a laptop. If you are looking to get the best tuning with the least amount of user input, the Verituner is the way to go. my 2 cents Ron Koval Chicagoland _________________________________________________________________ Get McAfee virus scanning and cleaning of incoming attachments.
