Topic: Has anyone tried one of the Peterson "sweetened" tunings on Pianoteq?

(I do not have a Peterson tuner, or obviously I would have tried one of these myself.)

My personal opinion is that any type of strobe is just a guide for the ear to let you know where you are at in terms of a given note being sharp or flat.  You have to use a lot of tests of various intervals using your ear to get the overtones all working together nicely.  This is basically what a "sweetened" tuning would be.  Pianoteq is one of the sweetest piano voices around so it would be a complete waste of time using an electronic tuning device to try to tune it.  Besides in the individual settings for each note, (at least in the pro version) it already tells you how many cents a given note is detuned. Moreover people are saying the Pianoteq pianos actually sound more realistic when the condition slider is set to a slightly detuned and aged position.

This an excellent tuner at an affordable price if you want to get into tuning acoustic pianos:
