Thank you for your valuable comments. I think that you have shown only one method of tuning and I would have liked to be able to have more options of tuning available.
Just keep producing a few more videos. It does not have to be a professional job as long as we can see what is being done.

Regards,

Roy

Those are great ideas, though I'm not certain that time will permit creation of these materials immediately. You will find information about "how to tune" in the Megatar Owner's Guide. You will have received a free copy with your instrument, and it can also be downloaded for free from the 'documents' section of the library on the megatar site (http://megatar.com). There's also an article in the Megatar-FAQ, here -- http://www.megatar.com/megatar-faq/tuning-buzz-feiten-intonation-system/ The GraphTech site has sound samples of the Ghost Acoustiphonic piezos. Although they use a strat and a bass, the sound is quite similar. See the website for Graph Tech for those. Hope this is useful!

I am still very interested to find out the various methods of tuning seeing that you cannot tune open strings or the easiest way to tune.
There are many other things that I am interested like
1) What does the screaming piezo sound like
2) What is the difference in sound using active circuits.
3) How to check and tune the intonations.
4) What are the strengths of Bass Bottom and Inverted fifths tuning.

I would like to suggest that you cover a topic in detail each week and have it demonstrated on video so it can be seen and understood clearly. Starting with the tuning as the playing relies on the instrument being in tune otherwise it can be very frustrating just to master the tuning.
