Hey; Nice of you to think of it! Tuning is an art developed over many years of playing. The Resotune is proceeded by several tuning aids using the same or similar concept. Do they work? Well; yes and no. The thing is there are sounds that you get by mis-tuning or unequal tensioning that symbolise your personal preference and style. Tensioning the heads becomes second nature after a while so that you can probably go faster than most devices. However they are great learnig aids in that you get a good tune and consequently you can work off that and learn what you like much more quickly. Most of the tricks they outline are standard practice like muting the center of the head with the tip of your fimnger to cut the ringing and tapping mid-way between the tip and rim.

However; this website lead me to a site called Cymbalholics; exactly what I needed. Perfect and I never would have thought about searching for it. Good Show; thanks.
