    After tuning aurally, at the highest prices in the state, in the most 
demanding environment I could find, for 16 years, I bought a SAT to help get 
around the arthritis.  In short order, it made me a better tuner. Not only more 
consistent, but more accurate.  By recording my aural tunings, then critiquing 
them on the next usage, changing what I thought could be improved, I ended up 
with a more refined tuning than was possible when starting from scratch every 
time I sat down at a piano.   This cumulative process of refinement is not 
available to the strictly aural tuner.  
     I know aural tuners that have been making the same mistakes for years.  
There is a difference between 20 years experience and one year's experience 20 
times...
