Remember what assume means ?!

>>> ETD were invented to help aural tuners,  not to be used exclusively. Tuning unisons by ear is almost an after thought in the whole tuning process. In other words, although it is very important, it's basically a skill that' s expected to be known. And if you can't tune by ear, then don't pretend to be a piano tuner. There is nothing wrong with using an ETD, but it's only a tool to help you tune a piano, not a tool to do all the work.
