FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Hi,<BR> I have been using an Accutuner =
for
years,and bought Pocket RCT at the Chicago convention last =
year.Today I had
to tune some practice room pianos at Erskine College,and used the =
RCT for
the first time.I actually set up both units,and tuned each note from =
A0
up,with both at the same time.They differed only slightly,in a few
places.One was right below the first break,another right at the next =
treble
break.I believe you would have gotten a good tuning with either =
unit,as it
was not a major difference.The last octave and a half,the Accutuner =
seemed
to really want more stretch,but I could have taken it gone with =
either
way.The piano was a Yamaha U1.<BR>Best,<BR>Hazen Bannister</FONT>
