>Aurally, electronically, on their head, in a sauna, who cares, Ron? :-) >Keith McGavern Well, yea, fair enough, but I'd like to see it done reasonably "conventionally" with the tools that EVERYONE has at their disposal, not with a specific ETD and a pre-calculated program. "Nothing up my sleeve" and all that, and actually building a temperament for both passes from a single pitch source. Otherwise, two people with ETDs working together, and with some preliminary work, could do the whole pitch raise and tuning in 11.3952477 minutes without even breaking a sweat. Though it would be pretty entertaining, I wouldn't find it all that instructive unless they got tangled up in one another and lost track of which arm was whose. We could all probably learn something from that. I say let's see it from the point when the (lone) tuner walks in cold, seeing the piano for the first time, with no prior preparation, strips (as it were), takes the first pitch reading, and attacks it. Just like how it happens out there in the world. Ron N
