Hmm the pianos I have seen tuned by them in the UK are not " very pleasing to the ear" they are OK it must be the user, they must be pressing the wrong buttons or something. The other thing I have noticed with my limited exposure to ETD here in the UK. The tuners swing the note a long way out to put it back in, then seem to knock hell out of the note. is this the norm for an ETD user. This argument about ETD is like the real piano V the digital one. There are those who love them and those who hate them. Do the folk who use ETD promote the wonders of the Digital piano as strongly as they seem to say that ETD tuning is better than the real thing, or do they believe the real thing can't be reproduced digitally as it always sounds like a recording, good one, but not like being there.
