Indeed, if you are tuning a piano which is very severely off pitch, it may be so far off that it will not register on any visual device.  This is where you musical sense of pitch must take over. Keep up the good and hard work. Bill Bremmer RPT Madison, Wisconsin</blockquote> These are sound enough words..  I hope you read these twice Ola,,,, and any other potential ETD addicts.. (not to read "any and all who use and ETD", rather "those who dont feel they can tune without one"). As for the rest... I dont want to say anything more then something my mom use to say (I think most of us had moms that used to say this as well) ..... "it takes two to fight".  Bill is just a bit more .... er.... acomplished at verbose assault then most of us.  grin.... -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
