Hi Tom,

What I mean to say is this :

If I am right, some machines measure data from a couple of notes, all a's
for instance. The machine then comes forward with a tuning that is as close
as possible to the measured data.
The Verituner measures - every - note and keeps calculating as you go and
that is the real beauty of this machine, it acts as two very very good ears.
I have tuned grand pianos with the Verituner which are just completely
impossible to tune with human ears. The first tuning with the VT was
impressive to say the least and the second tuning was stunning!
I personally can not achieve that despite all my training and talent.

When I started to tune with the VT I got scared and decided to tune a very
difficult Schimmel grand with my ears...an old fashioned tuning like we all
used to do, right?
I tried very hard and, luckily, was very pleased with my experience...then I
switched back to the VT, knowing that when in dire straits I could fall back
on 'the old and trusted way'.

I also tune with the VT in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. If you have tuned
a STW D a number of times with the VT the instrument will sound like
something you have never heard before, believe me! All intervals are crystal
clear and incredibly even.

I do not sell the Verituner, that is why I feel free to give my enthusiastic
opinion.


friendly greetings
