By the way, I don't disagree with you at all about the importance of =
piano preparation.  I was only referring to the need to create =
"excitement" with the tuning rather than relying on the pianist's =
ability (not to mention the music itself).

    That being said, if the pianist needs an altered tuning to create =
excitement, he should practice more.


  It's always been my belief, as a piano technician that the better =
prepared the piano, the better equipped the artist is.  Remember that I =
have not advocated *HT* as such for Jazz.  To you, this implies =
*altered* tuning which means something quite noticeably different and =
thus creates an *interference* with what you do rather than provide an =
enhancement.=20

  I don't know if you can or have tried my EBVT but as I have designed =
it (with Tempered Octaves), it is meant to enhance your playing, not =
shock or disturb your musical sensibilities.  It is meant to provide =
definition, texture and clarity, not weird, jarring and shocking =
dissonances.  If the EBVT is still to *altered* for you, I believe you =
might benefit from the Marpurg (also with my Tempered Octaves system).  =
I will give your piano an uncanny clean, crisp and clear sound but =
absolutely will not create any distinction between keys.=20
