Once when I was on the road opening for the band "Toto". While tuning a cp70 for my band, there was an ETD tuner from Pro Piano LA, who was in a panic. "What do I do, David Paitch wants these intervals (10ths and 17ths) to sound warmer "? I said maybe try slowing down your 10ths and 17ths a little,, He did'nt have a clue as to what I was saying. But we went back and forth a little talking in two languages auraleze and ETDeze and agreed less stretch. As for "Absolute verification",??,,,,,, How can something subjective be absolute ?
