<html> <body> <pre>>Suffice to say, I'm quite pleased with my VT100 and will get the >Pocket version as a backup in due course. </pre>I've tweaked the partial samplings in my VT to tune the way I do aurally, it just makes it easier to verify :-) But once you get the VT Pocket, the box will be your backup. Also I primarily tune a mild Victorian Well Temperament (Coleman 11) which musically fits pianos better especially smaller pianos.  Why try to force a mathematical temperament (ET) on a piano that won't accept it?  If you try to 'fit' ET on all pianos then yes you are going to have problems. Your function as a piano tuner is not to force fit an 'idealized' temperament but to tune it in a manner which makes it melodic and sonorous. Your customers don't care about ET, only tuning enthusiasts do.(was the PC enough?) It's the music not the temperament that counts. Music is made with expression and emotion which is diminished/washed out with the application of sterile ET. Why else does ET loose out to a Well Temperament in a side-by-side comparison. As far as the VT not working well for someone, yeah; my chisel didn't fair so well until I put a keener edge on it. <x-sigsep></x-sigsep> Regards, Jon Page</body> </html>
