Ben, Fred Sturm has been tuning pianos since before you were born.
You might consider having an open mind to his freely given, highly educated and experienced advice.
By the way, I get similar voicing results in 2 minutes with a wire brush I bought for 99 cents.
Unless you have unlimited funding, it will be a good idea to develop an educated critical attitude toward amazing on-line offers.
"Dr." Jack's voicing tool has been for sale for several years, and we have not heard any recommendations on Pianotech or CAUT.

Thank you all who replied. My point in asking about it was not to turn this thread into a bash session, but rather to get real information from someone who has used it. Please, if you have not used the rapid voicing method do not comment about how you think it couldn't work or speculate about why it's a fraud. Until someone tries it and posts back real results here, we do not know for sure if it works or not, or how. Please, let's try and keep an open mind.
Thank you,

My guess would be that he heard about Stanwood's compass point method, made a small change and set out to monetize it. The "doctorate " is no doubt courtesy of MPA. Don't waste your money.

Hi all,
He uses a dental pick as far as I understand. Jim Busby has a picture of it in his e-book on voicing. Page 376 I think. I have heard from other top notch voicers that the rapid voice or is mostly "Hokum".
I have never used it myself.
