SAT III vs. Reyburn CyberTuner

[Richard Wolff]

Don,
I second David's opinion- I started last year and got a SAT III right off
the bat.  It is too easy to lean on it as a crutch, letting it make
decisions for you.  Get a copy of "On Pitch" by Rick Baldassin- he does a
great job of explaining lots of things you need to know, and also shows how
both kinds of tuning (aural and ETD) can complement each other to make life
easier.  I'm half-way through the book, and only have to lie down in a
darkened room with smelling salts and a damp washcloth on my forehead every
hour or so!  Just kidding:)
