Hi Richard, Your approach will be useful. You are using the EDT as a visual teaching aid. I have done something similar. I did teach one student at University to tune the whole piano with the SAT and now she tunes a lot but doesn't know what she is doing, and she is a musician. sigh More work to do with her. -- Newton Hunt Highland Park, NJ mailto:nhunt@jagat.com > For example.. one of the things I can think usefull to use some > time and effort on would be the following excersise.
