This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi All, The recent postings about the Verituner 100 got me very curious about if = the product was as good as the hype in the ads.=20 SSSSoooooo I ordered one and today tried it out on one of my worst = pianos. A Kimball spinet that I tune 4 times a year and am never really totally = satisfied with the results. While I am still not totally pleased with the sound of the low bass and = perhaps never will be LOL, the top seven octaves sound marvelous. The piano was overall 15 cents sharp. I first tuned all A's , A0 through A7 Tuned the wound strings and then went back and tuned the bass starting = on A0 and by 1/2 step went to the top Along the way made several checks back over the previous notes tuned and = the auto note switch went to the octave and note being played. A positive fuction for me was the cents readout in the upper left corner = that gives constant readout of the sharpness or flatness of the note = being tuned. using this enabled me to tune above or below the pitch as = the piano warrented. Drawbacks: The auto advance is slightly slower than the SATlll but not a problem = when tuning as it is there when you need to look. The size is almost twice that of my SATlll so it would require making = other arrangements for transport of the tuner. Battery life about one to two days before recharge as opposed to two to = three weeks. While very sturdily built I think it would not bounce as high as my = other unit without damage. As the instruction manual said, the auto advance does not always work in = the very low bass and the top 4 or 5 notes depending on false beats for = sure. But WOW very high quality tuning device.=20 Just out of the box and no real insight to what all this puppy can do., = but knowing this tool is what may let me do a better job tuning and = perhaps voicing. More demanding for me to stop the cross hairs that show sharp or flat/ Joe Goss imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
