[pianotech] Old can of worms (was Re: tunelab vs verituner)

[tnrwim at aol.com]

I just don't think it is necessary to drive myself totally nuts, just to figure 
ut which chord is beating faster or 
lower - and - counting the beats !!!!!

That's a shame Duaine, that listening to beats drives you nuts, because listening to the beats, and making slight corrections to make the piano "sing", is what makes my job fun. If all I had to do was make the lights stop, tuning a piano would be very boring, and that would probably drive me nuts. To each his own, I guess

PS. regarding David's comments. There us some validity to what he is saying, but that is not what this discussion has been about.

 Well Duanie, what do you think you're listening to when you tune an octave? 
on't you "here"  a wow wow of some sort?  
 I'm not sure if you realize it, but that is what we refer to as the beats.

 Maybe the reason you can't "here" the beats is because you don't know what to 
isten for. Play a C3 -0 E3 third, 
 and tell me what you hear. If the piano is tuned properly, it's called the 
atural vibrato of the piano.

ES, I HERE THE BEATS.

 From here, refer to David Love's post. He sums it up nicely.
