Sounds to me like you are putting yourself in exactly the same boat you accuse
Bill of floating around in. To use your own expression...grin... Look bud, the
piano is not supposed to sound any other way then how the tuner set out to make
it sound. And the rest of the world is fully capable of speaking for itself
thankyou. As for your judgement as to what it is saying... grin.. I think you
better get your ears checked. Or you better start playing closer attention to
the world as it is rather then the one you choose to see. Fact is that we are
simply talking about different combinations of sounds that any particular
musician can have at their disposal should they wish. And the desire for more
then what ET can offer is indeed growing. You dont want to be able to provide
them with these is ok... that you wish to criticize others for defending the use
of HT is...well... not ok.
