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>> <BR>> Do you mean this page?<BR>> <BR>> http://www.piano-stopper.de/html/stopper_tuning1.html<BR>> <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>> <BR>> mailto:pianotuna@yahoo.com http://us.geocities.com/drpt1948/<BR>> <BR>> 3004 Grant Rd.
