[pianotech] tunelab vs verituner

[Duaine Hechler]

Dave and Les,

Oh, I beg your pardon, don't you remember, REAL - PROFESSIONAL - tuners tune AURALLY, not with "new fangled" machines.

Jokingly - just wanted to get a reaction from the the "PROFESSIONAL" aural tuners............

I am one of the "OTHER" PROFESSIONALS that just happened to use another "new fangled" machines - Cybertuner,
Duaine
