I really liked the tuning on the Kawai for the evening recital - nice work Don M! I was waaay in the back; the piano had plenty of carry and a good range of tone. The next morning, I happened to be in Don's basic tuning class and found out how tough the tuning went - the regular dishes clanking at all the wrong times and a ten degree temp. range during the tuning! Kent Swafford tuned a P22 using the OnlyPure software. Since I had recently purchased my own copy, I was interested in finding out more about the calculated tunings. The interface has a killer display for really getting a precise result. Sadly for me, the overall result hasn't compared to what I can get with the Verituner custom styles. In fact, my first day tuning back home, my pocket pc with verituner had a fatal hang - I used the OnlyPure on a Kimball upright before I could pick up my verituner box for the rest of the day. The tuning felt "unpolished" - kindof like a really good one-pass pitch raise that has solid unisons, but the overall sheen and resonance just didn't make it. Some of us there had some good guessing games trying to take a stab at what the software must be doing! No hard data yet...
