ETD Unisons was something else

[John Ross]

Hi,
I use the SATlll for the last 2 octaves for tuning the unisons. I
find it easier, and I have not had a single customer complain,
and they still get me back. I go back over by ear, and sometimes
I will find a unison has slipped, but that is not the machines
fault, since it is just one string of the three.
The odd time I will increase or decrease the stretch.
