Hi Les, I always dislike following another tuner--particularly if the instrument is one I tune regularly. I find I have to do two passes to get the piano back "the way I like it" and a third pass to tweak it, instead of my single pass. As I do impact style tuning etd assisted following a smooth pull aural tuner is worst case for me. I suspect the opposite may also be true. Just as an example I tuned a three year old Steinway B last summer following the "regular" (and very well respected) tuner. This instrument had been tuned 18 or 19 times, was well dealer prepped and is equipped with a DC system. Pitch correction at A4 was 4.3 cents, worst note flat was 17 cents and worst note sharp was 57 cents. I sweated blood over that tuning, and was less than happy with the end results.
