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)
