I have had the opportunity to use the VT for several one pass pitch raises recently and it works as well as can be expected. I did try it on one piano I had recently that did require a 100+ cent raise with only limited success. Just too far to go. However, I've had several pianos where, for example, the tenor was about 10c flat and the upper end tapered down to only about 2c flat. The bass was about 3-4 c flat. I tuned the piano in fine+ (the one pass pitch raise mode) and then switched the offset to 0 and checked the tuning. It was very very close. The only problem I can see is that you have to monitor each note and keep in mind a general average of flatness of sharpness, as the case may be. Whereas the RCT calculates a trailing average and projects the offset of the note you are tuning based on those previous notes, the VT does not. If you have an outlier (a note which is sharp or flat out of the general pattern) then you must fudge the offset to make it more consistent with the general pattern.

( the spinner is different but the same used on all ) well worth the effort to down load. I have not toyed with the new one step pitch raise enough to know how it will work on large pitch raises but Dave ( he led me through the down-load process ) says it will work on raises of 100 cents. Much better than the old 50 cents and the view remains the same as for the fine tune. So Far I have not had a piano off over 10 cents to try it out on, other than just a chip tuning and that is really not a good test. If you have any trouble give him a call. 1 800 verituner Joe Goss imatunr@srvinet.com www.mothergoosetools.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Farrell" <mfarrel2@tampabay.rr.com> To: "Pianotech" <pianotech@ptg.org> Sent: Monday, October 21, 2002 8:45 PM Subject: Re: Recording Studio Tuning > No. I tried to load it a week or two ago and didn't have any luck.
