Re:
Yesterday I've used the Hozan. It's working nicely, although I'm not sure if it needs calibration or not. As written earlier in the topic, comparing spoke tension is probably what it is used best for. I also used my fingernails for pinging. It's nice to conclude that the tones are similar once you've brought tension of all spokes up to about 800 Newton. But the Hozan gives you instant information about the effects of tightening or loosening. It's just very nice to see the process of your actions on the meter.
Ernie Frieke, a wheelbuilder located in Veldhoven in The Netherlands has a lot of very usefull information on his website and youtube. With his explanation I'm sure anyone with some technical feeling and the right tools will be able to build a wheelset.
