Dave, (Showing my ignorance...) I didn't know how to choose so I had to look/see and found that it says 6:3 bass 4:1 treble. I just thought it would "choose" something automatically. I guess 6:3 is OK for the bass but what do they mean 4:1 in the treble? Do they not do 2:1 in the high treble? I'm not sure how the dang thing works. I've really liked the Verituner for the reason that you turn it on and it figures it out for you. (Well, somewhat. I have learned to tweak it.) I got the IPod to have a backup. As far as confidence goes... not much! I have simply just turned it off and finished by ear, after re-doing stuff.

How much confidence do you have in your inharmonicity measurements? As you and I have discussed before I turn mine off when I get down to the wrapped strings. From there and south, I just go for smooth octaves and check double & triple octaves. dave David M.

(I touch) Here's the problem; when I take the readings for the Tune Lab on the IPod, then tune while comparing the tuning to both the SAT and Verituner the Tune Lab is 4 or 5 cents different at B2 (or around the break). Verituner and SAT are fairly similar. At A4 (A440) all 3 are dead on. Aurally I can't stand it either, so it's not just that the Tune Lab is different - it's just not right or I'm doing something wrong because friends that use Tune Lab on their PDA's end up with great tunings. How can I get a good tuning w/o trying to tweak the specs??? Anyone know? I mean, with SAT and Verituner it's hard NOT to get a good basic tuning even w/o messing with it. Thanks.
