Verituner Update

the tuning process. One easy example might be: A4, A3, A3-up, A3-down. Of
course the extreme case is to tune the piano twice. Many tuners regularly do
this anyway. In this case, the entire inharmonicity picture is known before
you start, for every note, and an incredibly smooth tuning can be
calculated. Since the Verituner can save these measurements for later use,
you can recall these measurements on repeat tunings and get a similar
effect.>>

Based upon what you have written above, and in your earlier post, I assume
that one could get a quite good tuning by measuring/tuning all the A's, the
notes around the bass break, and/or the high inharmonicity strings in small
scale pianos (such as the Acrosonic where the plain wire strings start).
Measuring the inharmonicity of these would give more information for
calculations. Correct?
