Today unfolded to be an interesting day.

Yesterday, I tuned a Wurlitzer console scheduled for delivery. ET made the 
thing sound harsh, )like it needed help).
Today I retuned it in WT (Moore). What a difference. Not harsh but round 
and sonorous.
I liked it so much I retuned the Kawai console going out too.

Besides that, two very accomplished musicians came by to try a 6'4" S&S A.
One plays piano and one plays violin, both Artistic Directors of area 
chamber music festivals.
The violinist's organization will now get the recommendation to purchase 
the S&S.
I mentioned to the piano player to try the Baldwin L next to the A. I had 
just tuned it in WT.
The first chord, "WOW". He proceeded to rip through some music commenting 
on how
open the music sounded. He tried the same piece on the A (ET). Although the 
A is a far better piano
than the tired old L, the consensus was that the WT sounded better.  The 
violinist asked if I could tune
the festival this summer in WT.  Can do.

Comparing thirds between the WT and ET I think has made a few converts.

Nothing like side by side comparison.

I don't think I will give an option of WT over ET. Just do it.  What's the 
big deal with ET anyway?
