Would you do that for a concert tuning? Jack">> Jack I am sure you didn't mean this the way it has come across to me..did you? :-) The times which Andre posted are very reasonable for a good solid tuning by one who is experienced. My time aurally is much the same as Andre's and I go over the piano twice. I don't use an ETD for normal tunings so that doesn't compute. You need to define "concert tuning"...do you mean under perfect conditions or the normal melieu of activity? Rock concert or symphony performance or solo performance? They all offer different challenges.....and it does make a difference. Condition of the tuning state before you start work has a bearing also........... you were talking about tuning a 'normal' tuning' weren't you? Jim Bryant (FL)
