Truly depends on what you mean by an accurate tuning. I've re-tuned and had custome-tuned some harp-reeds to microtones off the 23 increments of the diatonic splectrum, way off even those some would say should be PROPERLY numbered 8 ... .

Just a goodly tuner and a tempermental tinker.

Right. Wrong. Good. Bad.
If you blow sweet ona cheap Hero Tremolo and ne'er retune where's the rub? Only on the chin or shin of the questioning lad me does herein respond to, I s'pose.
I'll repeat ONE thing, only one.
