Rick,
	Stop them to the best of your ability to do so but ALWAYS check by
ear no matter what the machine says!!!

Hello list,

	I purchased my accu tuner about 8 months ago.  When I first used it,

I thought I might actually need to send it back.  I was tuning a  
kimball and the diodes were going everywhere except where they needed  
to go.  When I finally closed the lid, I had a fair tuning.  However,  
I thought that if this was as good as I was going to get with this  
tuner, I may as well send it back.
	The next day, I tuned my piano, a Baldwin Acrosonic.  I couldn't  
believe the difference. When I finished, I had what I thought was a  
pretty good tuning.  I need to know one thing though.
Slowing down the lights is easy; however, I need to know if the lights  
should always come to a dead stop.  I am still trying to work out this  
issue, especially with spinet pianos.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Rick Osborne
