    How does its tuning on a piano sound to you? This is essentially a fancy guitar tuner.

    That is what I thought. Actually it does far more and allows you to create and save your own tunings. Has over 20 historical
    tunings.  I am an aural tuner and got it for pitch raises.

    If it doesn't ask for samples, then you're getting a simple 2^1/12 tuning: no use as an ETD for pianos.

    Looks like $180 at Sweetwater. If you have an iphone or ipad, you could get PiaTune for way less and have a modern, piano-specific ETD that could do so much more - even if you just want to use it for pitch raising! Even if you don't have an iphone you could even buy a used I-device and purchase PiaTune for about that same price - giving you a recording device and camera and...

    PiaTune looks like a good way for any aural tuner who wants to dip their toe into ETD use for pitch raising and/or analysis. $99 and on 12/31 it's going to be 20% off for the day. Good for any tuner actually as it has some unique features.
