Sounds like just what I need! I have been suing the SAT for two months now, and I have gotten much faster! I also have been tuning unisons in the top two octaves using the blue box, because I just can't tune that well aurally yet! I get better, more consistent results when tuning unisons to the box in that area of the piano. Thanks for your input. Sincerely, David David A.
