<BR>John,
<BR>This is one area where the SAT is your best friend. Because you get to
<BR>record, what you think, are your best efforts. Just be prepared for a
<BR>3.5hr.session, as you will find yourself going back and forth fudging on
<BR>your tuning. In my opinion, this is better than taking the RPT exam. Now
<BR>you get the oppotunity to tune, master tune and critisize all in one. You'll
<BR>soon realize the effort it takes to arrive at that level.
<BR>I have recorded many tunings and found out that I am constantly trying to
<BR>improve them each time I tune that particular piano. So what I'm trying to
<BR>say is, do the recording, enjoy the experience, and plan on uprgrading that
<BR>tuning continously. It's a grooming process.

<BR>Now, with this, I am in total agreement. I also don't see how it is much
<BR>different from what was being said about the Verituner. There is more than
<BR>one way to get "stunning" results.
