SAT use

[Farrell]

That was a dumb thing to say in my previous post! I know one guy in my local chapter that will argue with you if you talk about ANY aural adjustment to the SAT-calculated tuning - even on a spinet!

> This is the classic ETD/Aural arguement. Any SAT user knows its limitations well. A large well scaled piano would likely get a nice tuning by the deaf/SAT tuner. A smaller and/or more poorly scaled piano would not likely get a great tuning - especially at the break. There have been volumes written on aural tweaking of ETD tunings.
