Dear Dr, Jim C. Sr. I say Dr. Jim as you now hold the golden hammer and it signifies (or ought to) accomplishment on the PHD level in some field and as a PHD you are therefor entitled to the approbation Doctor. (PHD=pianos have demons?) I am not qualified to speak to accutuners, and the accuracy/consistency thereof, since I have only owned one since the Convention. But I can speak to your statement on unisions. I agree that perhaps the most important part of the tuning process is leaving good clear, stable unisions. Most customers can not tell that the 17th partial of the third minor diminished fifth, augmented, is flat but they can certainly tell if the unisons are out and are sounding like a Warbler instead of a Lark. It has been my contention for many years that more reputations have been made by good unisions than by perfect temperaments. Jim Bryant(FL)
