Something Randy Potter said in a conference class didn't make sense to me at the time and I never really followed up on it. Then I read a post here that said "Tunelab requires that you make a judgment about how you wish to do the stretch and then manipulate the data manually." This is most emphatically not correct. Tunelab has evolved, but apparently the word has not gotten out. It is a powerful, fully-featured, really nifty program IMHO. I've used it for a couple of years (on an iPAQ Pocket PC). Three superb advantages: 1. You get to try it, free, before you buy it. 2. It's a whole lot less expensive (at least it has been). 3. It includes a real-time visible spectrum amplitude graph that is VERY helpful in (a) learning things, (b) tuning the high treble, especially unisons, (c) fast rough tuning and finding the pitch when the piano is way off, like in a restringing job, (d) selecting the best/strongest partials for tuning, (e) identifying/analyzing string/bridge problems like that thar unison that can never be in tune so fix it or quit worrying about it, already! And, no, I don't work for Bob and he's not my cousin or anything. It's just a great product that I enthusiastically endorse. In fairness, the only other ETD or tuning program that I've really used on the job was a Yamaha PT100-II, but I just can't imagine what possible features or performance differences any of them could have, that would make them more desirable than the Tunelab—especially for the price. If you paid me a dollar, I now owe you 98 cents change. Alan R. Barnard Salem, MO --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
