The self-tuning piano is a long way from production.

I believe the inventor, Don Gilmore, is now an Associate member of PTG.

Although there remain many questions to ask about the technology, the 
questions that I have heard being asked of the inventor were answered quite 
competently indeed.

The fact that the inventor is now a PTG member means that the development of 
the self-tuning piano is being plugged into the general mainstream of piano 
technology, which can only be a good thing. Don appears to be open to 
suggestions from the techs.

If these pianos go into production, they will have at least a thousand 
dollars worth of extra stuff on them to do the self-tuning, stuff that 
someone will have to fix someday -- a piano tech perhaps?

Sounds like this guy is "infultrating" the PTG in order to gain as much 
"inside" knowledge as posiible to help him PUT US OUT OF BUSINESS! I know 
that isn't likely, at least not in the near future, but that's the plan, 
right; to make us OBSOLETE.
