Hi Terry, Just a thought. I started using an ETD, too early on, and I have never been able to do a satisfactory, to me, aural tuning. I depend too much, on my SAT. I have no complaints from my customers, and I don't think it has hurt me financially. I have a contract with a local university, it is my 11th. year, with them. They, and the different artists, who have used their facility, have been satisfied with the results. The aural portion, of the Guild exams is the only part, I have been unable to pass. So, if you are intending to become an RPT, get your aural skills solidified, before you depend too much on the SAT, like me. Regards, John M.

It makes more sense to me now! Regards, Terry Btw, Tuning went well, (for a newbie) I used the SAT to tune the the middle strings, then turned it off and tuned the remaining unisons aurally to the tuned middle string. Sounds pretty darn good! I figure after another couple HUNDRED pianos, I'll be doin' ok! ______________________________________________________________ Get free Internet service and email at http://www.worldspy.com
