Should there be clarification regarding "tuners I know who have started tuning electronically have said it has enhanced their tuning ability" and "he admitted he has lost the ability to tune aurally - i.e. is there a difference between tuning ability and tuning aurally? My guess is that there is. Is an author who uses a word processor less of a writer than one who composes the novel longhand (or in this case an intermediate - one that uses a typewriter)? I await responses while ducking (as in duck & cover) with VERY THICK flame suit on!
