Before answering we need to define the ground rules. Given my own idea of what a tuning is and isnt, It would feasably be possible to tune a piano with and ETD with the tuner being totally deaf. But that tuner would have had to have at some time not been deaf, been an excellent tuner who was very adept with ETD's and gone way out of his way to equate the visual with the aural. Even then he/she would always be missing that certain something that only the ear can give you to be assured it "sounds" just right. An ETD can not hear... it can only measure. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F. Bergen, Norway
