[pianotech] Tuning speed

[Gerald Groot]

The machine isn't always accurate.  Sometimes it picks up on things it
shouldn't especially on pianos riddled with false beats. That's where a good
ear is needed to make sure things come out correctly when they don't.  

Dean told me when I bought mine (he is a member of my local PTG chapter and
only lives 15 minutes from me) that they are designed to be used in
conjunction with the human ear not without it.

I'd like to see some of the aural tunings put to the test of the machines. 
They did that twice years ago with Jim Coleman using an SAT and Virgil Smith

tuning aurally. First year the machine was voted the winner.  Now if a 
machine can tune at the level of Virgil Smith, it certainly is going to be 
superior to most aural tunings.

AMEN, AMEN and A M E N  - I use Cybertuner too. 

Plus, my mentor of 30+ years aural tuning, taught me to tune with 
Cybertuner. 

BUT, I'm sure some of the staunch aural tuners will NEVER try using an ETD.
