MessageHi Marcel,
I'm sorry. What I meant was, if I used a lap top with tune lab to do =
pitch raising etc. what do I place on the piano to pick up the pitch?  I =
know I cannot put the entire lap top on the piano like one places a ETD =
on the piano.:) So I"m just curious as to what a tuner places on the =
piano in order to read the pitch of the note.

  I'm sorry Marshall but I really don't understand the first part of =
your question. Could you rephrase it please. As for prices, you can get =
used laptop real cheap. With your impairment, I'm not sure if pocket PC =
would be a good choice.

    Hi Marcel,=20
    I'd like to have tune lab or something for pitch raising to get me =
in the ball p ark.  I'm curious, if one uses a lap top to tune, what is =
used in order to pick up the noes pitch, laid on the pins to pick it up? =
 Are lap tops cheaper in price than pocket pcs?

      Hi Marshall,

      TuneLab is probably the least expensive program you can get to =
tune. The nice thing about it is that it is a very light program (it =
does not need a super fast processor). So, you can probably get a used =
laptop and run it.=20

        I know I'm not going out and buying and ETD right away, but I =
was wondering what size font the print is. ie. 10 12 etc.  Since I use =
the city bus system, the smaller ones woule be a better match for me =
,but depending on the print.  I can see the red light on the spinner =
pretty well. Are they pretty much the same in price, tune lab, verituner =
etc.  I know the Acutuner III is in the neighborhood of 1700$=20
