Koval's 1.2, a very mild WT with a M3 range of 12 - 15 cents. Though I am a default user of ET, I had been looking for a very mild WT to use with certain pianos that needed something a bit extra to take the edge off. While most WTs, even mild ones, are too strong for me (even M3 10 - 17 range is too much for my ears), this one works quite nicely. Try it on a small Steinway vertical, or a little Kimball., Wurlitzer, Baldwin Acrosonic. With the right stretch settings, it really warms them up. The differences are subtle but there.
