I often take the cit y bus system, and = yesterday when I went to tune the preactice piano, my fork was cold from = being in my breif case. No I didn't get a tool box. I'm going to LOWES = to pick up a good 24$ one with numerous compartments, looks like a metal = breif case. I like the idea that the pitch source is constant. Turn it = on and tune until it is matched. The fork has to be struck over again. = Marshall Marshall ----- Original Message -----=20 From: James Grebe=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Saturday, January 07, 2006 10:39 AM Subject: Re: electronic pitch source You might also consider the Sanderson Accu-Fork. The good thing with = a digital pitch source is that it is always accurate. I usually say = that the tuning fork is always there but not necessarily accurate due to = temperature, whereas the digital source is always accurate but if = something happens, it is not there at all.
