Terry, I have tuned my sister's square grand with both an Accutuner and RCT. Both measure the same way that any other piano does, and it turns out beautifully. Just include a chiropractor's fee in your estimate, because you will have a tired back leaning over it to reach the pins. You need an oval pin adapter. I used to tune it aurally, and found it a pain to set a temperament because of the awkward position and the two string unisons. The Accutuner and RCT are a blessing in tuning these. Ray T.
