Kent, Of course you are correct. Misstep on my part. ETDs are allowed. Bremmers comment, if you read it carefully, was that the piano is TUNED with an ETD and then master tuned, aurally. I personally suggested that be done, a few years ago and was told absolutely not! Hmm? There definately seems to be some differences of opinion in the use of an ETD in Master Tuning. To me, this just adds more fuel to the argument of those who choose NOT to become RPTs or to even join. I've been hearing that lame argument for years, from the non-PTG crowd, that they refuse to be pitted against a "Machine". Perhaps someone from the Tuning Test Committee could clarify this, as I do not have a manual at the ready. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Been There, Didn't Like It, So I'm Here To Stay!
