ETD's & Computers was Re: RCT or SAT III

[Alan R. Barnard]

The Pianalyzer feature of RCT measures cents deviation (from an theoretical, ideal zero IH curve) and proportionate strength of partials in a single string. The TL Pocket has the same feature sans the pretty colored bar graph.
 
But it also has the full-time, real-time, on-screen spectrum display that shows where the pitch of the string actually is, even if it is nowhere close to the target pitch. So it's great for chipping up new strings or reallllly flat pianos. It is also wonderful for analyzing junky strings, bad unisons, and tuning around hideously wild strings, showing customers "what the problem is", and -- best of all, REAL help in tuning the high treble, especially in noisy environments.

I know I sound like Bob's marketing department but hey, you pass good news on to your friends, right?

Reyburn CyberTuner has a spectrum analyzer (called Pianalyzer, for laptop and pocket pc) and has had it for years. I have heard good things about TuneLab and it is cheaper than RCT or Verituner. I have used RCT for 8 years and I know first hand that it is a superb tuning program. I would not want to go back to SAT (3 years) or aural (15 years). If I didn't already own RCT, I would definitely check out TuneLab.
 
Having a computer in the field is very useful too. I wouldn't want to go back to paper scheduling either. All contacts, calendar, task list, notes, client database, calculator, maps, email and much more are in my pocket at all times. Worth every penny.
