ETD vs Aural: was Unison Flatter than each Individual string?

[Hechler, Duaine & Laura]

David,

On recommendation from others in my area, I purchased the Cybertuner (as 
I'm just starting out).

If you can get a chance, I would like your opinion of the Cybertuner vs 
aural tuning ?

Thanks,
Duaine
