Jeff writes: << The issue is placing the burden of knowledge to link every different kind of temperament known to history appropriately to every possible musical composition on the piano tuner. That is the impossibility that leads me to believe we're discussing THE Pandora's Box of music. >> Too many "every's". The impossibility of any one person knowing every temperament and its applicability to every piece of music has nothing to do with improving our skills and increasing our offerings. What I was suggesting was that by increasing our knowledge, and broadening our horizons, we may be able to offer more of what people are willing to purchase. That is the way it has worked out for me, and I do encourage any tech that wants more out of his career to consider a multi-temperament ability. If you consider more knowledge to be a burden, then it would be best to continue on with the singular offering of only using one approach to tempering.
