Dear all, Below is a Questionnaire for a Talking Hygrometer to be made by the RNIB England for VI Piano Tuners However, it will be available to all who wish to buy it. So if you would like to put your input in to the Questionnaire we may end up with a good product I have said it should have a last 10 history memory so when I get home I can put them in to the computer. What is my interest in this ! I want one the more feed back they get the sooner we get it on the market. You can send them back to: Sabine van den Heuvel at the RNIB details at the bottom. Or send them to me.
