Computer Program for Piano Tuning
By Andy Taylor

Hi gang.  While I was cursing the web today, I went to the web site of
the Piano Technician's Guild (PTG).  On a link I found and downloaded a
program called Tunelab 97.  It is shareware, and well worth the money.

This program requires a '486 or better processor, Windows, and a
microphone and sound card.  This program will also display inharmonicity
measurement and storage, auto note detect, and quite a few other
things.

If I can ever figure out what these displayed numbers about inharmon-
icity mean, I should be able to figure out which Foster piano has the
better scale: the original one or the one I restrung using a Baldwin
stringing scale.  If someone understands inharmonicity comparisons,
please E-mail me.  I would love to understand the finer details of
stringing scales; it will also help me become a better tuner.

You may find the program at   http://www.wwnet.net/~rscott

My web site is still down, but should be up in a few days.  I am still
taking roll orders, and should have some new rolls very soon, including
one by Andy Fielding, and MMD's own John Tuttle.  There is a page about
Tempola rolls at John Tuttle's great web site; John is a great friend
and a terrific guy!

I will keep you posted.

Best Regards
Andy Taylor, Tempola Music Rolls
