Let's put it this way, with Cybertuner, you tune from A0 to A88 - one ote at a time. In your example, I don't tune anything to anything because Cybertuner as done all that checking (hearing partials, calculating stretch, alculating overpull, etc - basically all the checks you - have - to do urally as - you - are tuning) in the first place and it - just - tells e where to put the next note going up the scale. So what you're telling me is that you do NOT check octaves aurally. But I thought you said you did, which makes you a "Hybrid" tuner. So do you check octaves aurally, or not?

As I said - trust - just like you trust your ear to tell you where to put the note. -- Duaine Hechler OK, let me try one more time. You say that when you get done tuning the piano with the Cybertuer, you *aurally* check octaves to make sure they are "pure". (I think they way you put it, you don't want to hear one over the other). But when you check the octave, (C5) do you first recheck the lower one (C4) with the Cybertuner, to make sure it is tuned corretly? Or do you just tune the upper note (C5) with the lower note, (C4) without making sure the lower note is where it is supposed to be?
