Moreover, calculated tuning curves don't always produce the best outcomes. Some tweaking is often necessary. Stretch decisions with machines are also arbitrary and must be confirmed and often changed. Machines offer some real advantages and information but are not to be trusted without some aural monitoring.

Sometimes it picks up on things it shouldn't especially on pianos riddled with false beats. That's where a good ear is needed to make sure things come out correctly when they don't. Dean told me when I bought mine (he is a member of my local PTG chapter and only lives 15 minutes from me) that they are designed to be used in conjunction with the human ear not without it.
