TYPE="CITE">I use Verituner and I usually take between 45 - 60 =
minutes to do
a normal<BR>tuning at a comfortable pace. The variation often =
has to
do with how well<BR>the tuning pins render. I can certainly go =
faster
if I need to and make a<BR>point of it for institutional type of =
work.
When I was tuning aurally I<BR>took a good 15 - 20 minutes =
longer. For
a concert or recording studio<BR>tunings I usually take more time to =
do an
additional pass, maybe 10 - 15<BR>minutes. The key to speed is =
hammer
technique.<BR><BR>David Love<BR><BR> </BLOCKQUOTE><BR><BR>I'd =
say I
agree with this on every point. While I may spend as much as an =
hour on
a 3 pass concert tuning, I have my ordinary home tunings down to 35 =
minutes
for 2 passes. I usually think that I can use an ETD and get it =
done
faster but when I'm really in a pinch, it just slows me down.
Experience, perception and technique are all keys to speed.<BR>Bill =
