. If you can tune by ear, > why > >>would you even consider purchasing such a device??? I had an interesting experience this a.m. Tuned a Kawai, and, when finished, I asked the lady, "Did the previous tuner use an electronic tuner?" "Why, yes he did." I figured so, as C-8 was +1 cent, A0 was -6cents, and most of the rest of the piano was within about three cents. WHY this lady called me, I don't know. I do know she's run through a bunch of tuners, the last one I know charges $20+ more than I. My point with ETD is that there is consistency I've not seen except in an Avery Todd, or Virgil Smith type of tuner, and even Avery has fallen amongst those who have bitten the bullet for ETDs. Since I'm a realtive newbie, many of my tunings are following other tuners, and I consistenly find that the top and the very bottom of the piano are WAY off, even if the center is quite close. les bartlett houton lesbart@juno.com ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
