Hi Kent, I was VERY impressed with the tuning! I was running around doing institute stuff, but checked back in a couple times. Keith bought the program and did some studies, compared to the SAT. I think he will share them next week. Bottom line was the high treble is stretched way more (Of course) the bass, not as much stretch, but they were very close elswhere. He did a D, a p22 and a 6' grand.

Actually, it sounds like your first tunings may have gone better than mine. (LOL) Put some effort into OnlyPure and I wager you'll be more and more pleased as time goes on.

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...
