Marty, what I'm having trouble with on my ST747 is it reads one note
below whatever I'm playing when I use it on auto and it reads more than
50 cents flat on any note I try manually. Certainly, I'm willing to
accept I don't know what I'm doing when I try operating it manually but
I can't accept it being one note off whenever I try it on auto.

Any suggestions or comments you might have about this would be
appreciated. I'm certainly no mechanical nor electronic wizard but it
seems that a better quality tuner would at least register the correct
note on auto. And, no I haven't dropped or thrown it YET!

Jim
