Hello List A few years ago I was in a church tuning a piano when the organ tuners arrived to complicate matters. They saw me using an ancient Seiko quartz chromatic tuner and said: "You're cheating using that thing" Well I suppose in a way I was - they still abide by the tuning fork method of laying the bearings. But that's all I use the tuner for - just laying the bearings. Even then I'm checking M3,M4, M5s and as soon as I'm out of the bearing area I turn the darn thing off. Save the batteries. The ear is by far the better judge of tuning IMHO than any electronic tuning device - particularly at both ends of the keyboard.
