This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello List, I have about 1 year of experience in this job (including my study time!) = and things are going very well. I quit my full time job a few months = ago, got a part time and fill the rest with piano work. I'm getting = lots of referrals and everyone seems pleased with my work. =20 So far so good. When I started studying this art I bought a high end ETD and = concentrated on my technique and other things like repairs, regulating = and voicing, thinking that the aural stuff will come later. I of course = always listen to my unisons, octaves and other aural checks, but have = yet to set a temperament. Late this afternoon I was half way through a = pitch raise on a Yamaha at a school and my ETD kind of crashed. I = panicked. There was no one around to reschedule (not to mention they've = already paid me for this tuning and the one I'm doing tomorrow, so it = would look really bad if I just left), I couldn't find my mentor, (lost = your cell again RJ?), I tried everything I could think of to fix the = ETD. Luckily I got ahold of another tech in the city that uses the same = one and he was able to help me. Crisis averted. I have been meaning to = learn to tune aurally but I guess it was put on the back burner because = I've been busy and my business has been growing nicely. Now I realize = that I must learn, and soon. =20 If any one has any advice on this I'd sure appreciate it. (I have the = Randy Potter course but I'd like other options and opinions.) Where do = I start? Tune with 3rds and 6ths and check with 4ths and 5ths or the = other way around? Recommeded sequence? Any other tips? I think I need = some help.
