ETDs, was: Voicing

Franz Mohr on ETDs.

Question from the piano-consumer audience: "My piano technician uses an electric box while tuning my piano. Is this good?"

Franz Mohr's response: "Throw the bum out. Thrrrrroooowww him out!" (Statement made with lots of sweeping hand/arm/body motions.)

Any further questions?

Now I wonder whether that person's tech was Jim Coleman or the local guitar tuner tooner? I think it makes a difference. I also think Mr. Mohr might benefit from attending some electronic tuning classes at the PTG conventions - at least from the perspective of becoming more familiar with current technology.
