Two cases in point for ETD usage...today. Baldwin spinet, bass/low tenor was half tone+ flat, treble whole tone flat. 6" ruler fit into gap between backposts and block ~2" (separator block tight) Set the VT to -105c Pulled the bass to that, tenor +10c, A4 and up +15~20C The piano is tolerable and will get pulled up when I get bolts to reinforce the top of the case. We tipped the piano and the bottom was not separated. 'Rebuilt' M, (shutter); ave. -20c. yanked to pitch with slight overpull because it will migrate sharp this summer. Pointed out short-coming of 'r/r' ... 2K work as soon as I can get to it. If it weren't for the VT I would not be tuning much at all. It does such a fantastic job with no effort, except for rock solid pin setting and the always evolving tweaking of my stretch parameters. Think push-mower vs power-mower. Which cuts the grass better... it all depends on how much effort you physiologically want to put into it. -- Regards, Jon Page
