The area you reler to is the problem area for me too, although only on =
very few pianos. A newer B that I sevice does exactly what you describe, =
yet four other Bs have no problem. I have found that its best not to =
rely on a stored tuning, but to take FAC readings every time. They do =
change for whatever reason.=20

       HI Phil   =20
   I have to confess being trained & worked as an aural tuner as well & =
I have found that I disagree with the way the Any sat model calculates =
the low tenor below the f-3 to the break.To my ear it always tunes it =
too flat. It's not a big deal. I usually overide it & I just tune around =
it aurally.

    I feel you are missrepresenting the SATlll in your statement below. =
I've been using the SATlll for three years and from my perspective using =
manual stretch is the exception. By far, the majority of the pianos I =
tune need very little or no correction at all. I tuned strictly aurally =
for 28 years and I love the SATlll.=20

      IMHO, if you like listening to your octaves and manually setting =
your stretch in the various areas of the scale each time you tune a =
piano - the little powerhouse SAT 3 is hard to beat - it is so simple =
and a pure pleasure to use. If you like to just shift into autopilot =
(but of course, still have complete control over stretch settings, etc.) =
and produce fantabulous tuning time after time on any piano, go with the =
VT. And of course the VT has all sort of other bells and whistles.

      I was in love with my SAT 3, but I'm also in love with my VT and I =
feel like we are still on the honeymoon after almost two years now!
