I have to echo Kents post here. Remember the ETD samples only 3 to 6 notes and projects the rest of the pianos inharmonicity onto it... whether it likes it or not. In the range C4 downwards this gets quite a bit less reliable then perhaps many of us are aware. And its not exactly perfectly dependable upwards for that matter. Its good enough to provide an ok ET tuning (perhaps its better to say quasi ET tuning), but if you are so reliant on beat rates as it might seem an Equal Beating temperement is, you may run into more difficulty then expected with simple cents offsets.
