I really like the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:PersonName>Verituner</st1:PersonName>. Jim Coleman’s class on ETD’s is great if you haven’t taken it. The bottom line seems to be; any one of the 4 can do whatever you want IF you know how to use them and IF you use your aural skills. I’ve used all but Tunelab. If you’re into computers and really high tech stuff, try Cybertuner. If you’ve used SAT 1 you’ll like the III. It’s a workhorse. I recharge mine once a month, and I love the DOB feature. AND you can still tweek the numbers. I’ve tuned several pianos with the <st1:PersonName>Verituner</st1:PersonName> and had the SAT side by side, and I can say that they agreed on the first tuning (<st1:PersonName>Verituner</st1:PersonName> takes in partials on the first tuning) but on the 2nd tuning the <st1:PersonName>Verituner</st1:PersonName> tweeked the tuning the way I would have by ear. (Mostly. I still check and change some things with the <st1:PersonName>Verituner</st1:PersonName>. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I know a technician in <st1:State><st1:place>Cal.</st1:place></st1:State> that swears he can tune with a Stobocon and make it work!

I’m looking at the SAT, Cybertuner, and Verituner. What are your experiences with these, which do you prefer, and why. I‘ve used an SAT I for 12 years, and I’m wondering if the newer devices do give a better tuning.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Dave Forman<o:p></o:p> Westminster Choir College of <st1:place>Rider <st1:PlaceType>University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place><o:p></o:p></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><hr SIZE=1> Do you Yahoo!?
