[pianotech] Korg OT-120

[Paul McCloud]

I once used a Korg chromatic tuner, but don't remember the model.  I purchased it used.  I only used it to set a temperment, but then I had to tweak it by ear.  The tunings were actually aural tunings, but with the help of the Korg.  Unless the Korg QT-120 can account for stretching the octaves, you should only use it to tune the temperment section, using aural tests to verify the intervals.  Then tune the rest of the piano (with or without the machine), again using aural tests to be sure the intervals are correct.  If the machine can factor a stretch into the tuning, it might work.  
UPDATE: I looked it up at Z-zounds.com.  I didn't find any mention of stretching the octaves.  YMMV.

Hi List,


Does anyone had tried use Korg OT-120 for tune piano? Does the tuner can reach the lowest and highest note in piano ? (A0 - C88)
