<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes the verituner is a keeper, but =
still I will
not be without a SATlll for backup and large pitch =
raises.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The SAT is still what I use when =
speed is a
issue SAT 45 min Veri 1:30 at best. With the need to go through two =
times
always with a pitch raise.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Verituner does give me the =
stretch that I
like without having to do constant checking in octave above the =
temperment (
ala Virgil Smith )</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Verituner has become my first =
choice when
time is not a factor.</FONT></DIV>
