label: Description (Brief)
content: <p>The Accu-Tuner III can be used in three modes: Tune mode, FAC (stretch) mode, and Memory mode. The Tune mode functions like most conventional tuning instruments. The FAC mode uses three measurements known as stretch numbers to derive a tuning based upon computer calculations and stretch tables from the measurement of three stretch numbers on notes (F3, A4, and C6) on the piano being tuned. The Memory mode enables a tuner to store and retrieve complete 88-note tunings. The Accu-Tuner III comes with 198 pages of memory.</p>
