Laptops vs ETD's

[Marcel Carey]

Cy, for the laptop position with uprights I've used a house chair on
numerous times and found that this position is a very confortable
position with spinets.

As far as pitch raising without mutes, the same can be done with the
pocket version. You just have to zoom in the spectrum display.
