A Bold Move

[Ken Jankura]

OK, OK, Alright Already,  could someone print the offsets for the Broad Best
for the Hysterically ETD Dependent? Please. I've been using the Young's
Well, when the time seems appropriate and the customer receptive, but I hear
it as a little too strong in the 'odd' keys. I did the Coleman 11 once and
didn't hear quite enough.
Pretty new at all this stuff,

"So, how many pennies was it off this time?"
-actual question from a long time customer, after a tuning....:-)
