I don't consider myself an "old tuner," but good tuning hammer and pin
turning technique (they go together) combined with a healthy blow to "set"
the string are the makeup of a "quality" tuning for me.  Kind of a
simplistic answer, I suppose, but you need the basic stuff before you can
get fancy.  A good chef must first know how to work with flour and water
before moving onto salt, butter or other ingredients.  Same goes for tuners.
