Hello, It sure may work, probably we don't go in the trouble of muting the strings only for sampling, because it is not our use to do that, but I guess it may be the way. Beside, when I tune a piano at pitch, I simply use a similar piano file, tune 'aurally with the VT', and end with a so called 'superior tuning for that piano in the VT. As my final checks are aural only, I don't take time to check it against the VT most of the time. As I told before, I like the tuning to have some color in, not only absolute rightness, or only the appearance of. So the end of the tuning I check the flavor of fifths and expanded, tenths and expanded, and so on ... I can't accept the idea of a machine producing a superior tuning, or a machine producing any tuning at all in fact, but they put you on the way more or less precisely. (and at that , the VT100 is best choice BMO) May be I am wrong too. Just my thoughts.
