   Ah, yes, ears are wonderful things, but this morning, I had two concert 
grands to tune for a duo piano rehearsal.  One was freshly restrung and 
anywhere from 3 to 10 cents flat. The other hadn't been tuned for the last 
two months and was 14 cents sharp,(plus another temperament).  I had two 
hours to do the whole thing.  
    I don't think I would have been able to get it done, aurally.   The 
construction outside the building was loud,  the pitch corrections were 
drastic.  There was time for one pass each on these pianos, the SAT III left 
me with two tunings that were within 2 cents of each other at their worst, ( 
right above the bass break and easily corrected in a few minutes),  and right 
together in most places.  
   They are just tools.
