/Ric- The Seiko is fine for calibrating electronic devices, but not aural tuning. It has an extremely loud second partial and a very soft first partial./ ------------------- I'm not quite sure I see the problem with that. If you can test beat rates between a reliable pitch source and the note to be tuned with a test interval (or two)... you should be able to get near beatless with the pitch source. That said... as I also said... seems like the Sanderson tool is the thing to get... if a bit more pricey. Cheers RicB The Sanderson tool gives four pitches, so it's not much more expensive than four top quality forks, not to mention the 50cents sliding scale. I want one, too. Ed Sutton
