Katsura tuning software

[Don]

Hi Steve,

Save your money--the Katsura is way too inaccurate to be used to tune a
piano. (imho)

To "create" a tuning file for an instrument the "stretch" over one octave
must be divided by the 12th square root of 2. The number being divided may
sometimes be as small as 2 cents. Katsura claims accuracy of plus or minus
1 cent, so it really can't help you.
