My 10-min t in practice! skirts topic

[Ward & Probst]

Ron,

This does point out one reason I began using an ETA after 20 years of aural
work: recordkeeping. I can record pitch with accuracy which goes into the
PTG Service Record with the temperature and the humidity readings. Two
things that this recordkeeping has taught me: 1) DampChaser systems work as
advertised 2)a consistent accurate service history is invaluable to the
technician and the piano owner.

Best,
Dale

Hi Phil,
Here, we note that the difference between aural and ETD tuners is very
similar to the difference between owners of analog, vs digital watches. It's
not a quarter-to-twelve at all, it's 11:44:23. <G>  Wish my fork had a
digital readout, probably really hurts to whack yourself in the knee with an
ETD.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I did a couple of pitch raises myself Tuesday, and
they were roughly - oh, about... uh, - so - low (holding hands up and
apart).

I'll go away now.
 Ron
