Hi Ed, I just hit the repond to button and responded. <g> But, I must say still, that a good ear tuning (I use RCT btw) is still hard to beat that is, if a person has a good ear to tell the difference. Many do not. No offense intended here. Merely stating my opinion on it is all.

A machine isn't everything and no matter how hard we try, the human ear is awfully hard to beat in the end. Greetings, I don't really know why my name is attached to this topic, but I am not the only machine pitch raiser around here! I do a better tuning with my machine and ears combined that I do with using only either. On a large, well-scaled piano, the difference between the two is academic, until you get to the unisons. If a person doesn't know how to manipulate the octaves via machine, then the ear will produce a more integrated tuning. However, the finest ET in the world will still be passed over in favor of a mild Victorian style of key color, whether it is done totally by machine or not, so I am not too caught up on massaging the last 1/2 cent correction into an ET. I consider it pointless. Regards, -- Ed Foote RPT http://www.uk-piano.org/edfoote/index.html _____ avast! Antivirus <http://www.avast.com> : Outbound message clean.
