[pianotech] self tuning piano(s)

I don't think we have to worry about our jobs on account of a self-tuning piano.  For one, think of the millions of pianos out there currently that will never be self-tuning!  That leaves us plenty of work, I'd say!

Even IF the "bugs" got worked out of it and they started selling like gang-busters, I would imagine it would take years to catch on enough to flood the market to the point it would effect us too much.  Even at that...I don't think he's begun working on a self-regulating or self repairing piano yet.  Maybe someday ; )

One other thing...I'm not sure I understood correctly or not, but as it tunes...it has to sound all the strings while it's initially tuning at startup, correct?  If so, that would be the biggest annoyance, I'd think.  Who in their right mind would want to hear that noise, for any period of time, every time you sat down to play.  I sure wouldn't. If it doesn't, then I misunderstood and stand corrected.

Anyway, I think I'll rest easy tonight...we may suffer a bit to poor economy, but I seriously doubt if we suffer too much at the hands of a self-tuning piano. 

I agree with Dale, I wouldn't necessarily want to poor cold water on a cool idea, afterall, the entreprenuering spirit is what built America, and my hats off to him. Cool idea at the least.

Ok...letting it die now! ; )
