This has got to mean something, no? >Regards, >Ed > Well, I took the plunge and offered a non-ET tuning to a piano teacher. She asked, "What will it do for me"? I said that it will give more tone color, she said without hesitation, "Do it". I loaded a representative Victorian temperament in the Verituner and tuned away. The results were a pleasant surprise. Fuller, warmer, was her initial response.; loving it - days later. One of her adult students told me the piano never sounded better and will probably want something similar on his piano next tuning. There's no turning back... Regards, Jon Page, piano technician Harwich Port, Cape Cod, Mass. mailto:jonpage@mediaone.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
