Sanderson Accu-tuner

[Rick Osborne]

Greetings,

Having been a musician and teacher for a number of years, I believe I  
know a well tuned piano with I play it.  When I got into piano tuning  
2 years ago, I was convinced that, with my trained ear, I would be  
able to tune a piano to "my" satisfaction.  I am still convinced of  
this, but it hasn't happened nearly as quickly as I hoped it would.

Although I am tuning pianos for pay and am fairly  pleased with my  
work, I am keenly aware that I will never be completely satisfied  
with my work as a tuner until I am satisfied with it as a teacher and  
musician.

I believe that I'm doing all the right things, but I still want to  
progress more quickly.  I would also like to speed up my tuning in a  
client's home.  So, I am giving serious consideration to purchasing a  
Sanderson Accu-tuner.  I have heard wonderful things about this piece  
of equipment and, my intentions have always been to buy one  
eventually. Any input from some of you who own one would be very  
helpful.

One more thing, I am preparing for Guild examinations and I know the  
Sat III has a program dedicated to Guild exam preparation.  Have any  
of you ever used it and was it helpful?  Thank you for taking the  
time to read this e-mail.  Take care and God bless.

Rick
