Don't you notice the difference, right away, when you're tuning a piano that was last tuned by someone who, shall we say, isn't quite plugged-in? Maybe all the tuners in you service area tune exactly the way you do, and don't leave service notes in the pianos. Otherwise, even after a year, it's possible to detect the "scheme", isn't it? Do you ever follow students, as in a requested critique, or anything like that? That's one of my favorite ways to learn! Anyway, David, just blabberin' and no debate or argument sought. I'm the first to defend the previous tuners' effort, usually. Like was once said, "Half an hour after the tuner leaves, it's out of his hands." Peace, Guy
