I wrote privatly to Kent to ask what were the features or the actual handling of the machine. It seems (if I understood correctly) that there is no pitch adjustment or pitch raise function, no measurements taken, not to mention file savings. My big question is does the program measure and calculate a perfect tuning for each piano or is it just like 1 tuning file in a box. This tuning file being so perfect that it would fit all pianos...</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">This is my question. Before I invest over a thousand dollars in something like this, I would like to see screen shots of the differents features I'm used to with other tuning programs TL, Veritune and CyberTuner.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Thanks,</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Marcel<br><br><br><br></div><hr id="stopSpelling"> <br>> Hi Marcel,<br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> Do you mean this page?<br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.piano-stopper.de/html/stopper_tuning1.html">http://www.piano-stopper.de/html/stopper_tuning1.html</a><br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> At 04:50 AM 10/17/2008 -0400, you wrote:<br>> > Hi Kent,&S and Bosendorfer sounded so good together.I'm not too sure.<br>> >Wish Bernhard would tell us more about his program and add some tweeking<br>> >functions in it.Marcel Carey<br>> ><br><br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> <a href="mailto:pianotuna@yahoo.com">mailto:pianotuna@yahoo.com</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://us.geocities.com/drpt1948/">http://us.geocities.com/drpt1948/</a><br>><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>> 3004 Grant Rd.
