[pianotech] Attention Ed Foote - Pitch raising limit

[William Truitt]

In the end, the human ear  is beat,  and is awfully hard of hearing.

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.

 I agree.  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,
