You're going to get lot's suggestions as to which = machine (program), to get. But until you actually use and learn how to = use it, you're not going to know which is best for you. The only real way to= know which one you like best is to use each one for a month or two, and the= n make a decision. But since I doubt each one of the machine (program),&nbsp= ;manufacturers will let you use their machine for free for an extended perio= d of time, perhaps you can do the next best thing. I would suggest you = go to the next seminar, or convention, where all three machines are being di= splayed, and ask if you can take one into a room and tune a piano with it. <= /DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Wim </DIV></BODY></HTML>
