In my opinion, the VT does a good job on well-scaled pianos.  It is
limited on spinets and consoles.  I'm told one can alter the "stock"
tuning programs for these problem pianos to more closely match what a
good aural tuner can do.

In my efforts to program the device to that end, I was spending too
much time trying to program the durn thing, then having to use aural
tests on every piano to check whether the program was doing it right.
In frustration, I decided to ditch it and go back to aural only.

If I had to use an ETD, I'd go with a Reyburn CyberTuner.  I've not
used the RCT, but it seems to approach calculating a tuning better
than the VT.
