<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV>The Varituner has an update to its base that gives it a more =

<DIV><FONT size=3>Hello Dale. I use the Verituner and previously =
used an SAT
3. Yes the Verituner is larger than the SAT 3 - about the same =
footprint as
the SAT 2 if my memory serves me correctly - a bit heavier though. =
While
smaller is always an advantage, I do not find the size of the VT to =
ever be a
problem. Like the Steinway tech told me about the dinging noise in my =
new
Steinway - "you just get used to it".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>I have never had any trouble easily seeing the =
display on
the VT. You can get a reflection sometimes if you are sitting opposite =
a
bright window, but you just angle the VT a little and the problem goes =
away. I
find it to be no trouble.<BR><BR>IMHO, if you like listening to your =
octaves
and manually setting your stretch in the various areas of the scale =
each time
you tune a piano - the little powerhouse SAT 3 is hard to beat - it is =
so
simple and a pure pleasure to use. If you like to just shift into =
autopilot
(but of course, still have complete control over stretch settings, =
etc.) and
produce fantabulous tuning time after time on any piano, go with the =
VT. And
of course the VT has all sort of other bells and =
whistles.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>I was in love with my SAT 3, but I'm also in love =
with my VT
and I feel like we are still on the honeymoon after almost two years
now!</FONT></DIV>
