      I'm an aural tuner too that now uses an Accu-Tuner _in_addition_ to aural
tuning.  Making the transition from aural only to aural/electronic is much
easier with the aid of Rick's ariticles.  These articles are called "On Pitch"
and were published in 11 articles in the Piano Technicians Journal from June
1983 to March 1985.  They have been the "Roseta Stone" for many making this
transition, including myself.  Rick Baldissin's "On Pitch" is also available in
book form from the Piano Technician's Guild for $20.  The book version includes
better pictures, and a final chapter 12.

I don't think they have an email address.

I just bought a copy of "On Pitch" the book last July at the New Mexico
convention, and I have a older photocopied one if anyone wants it (free!)
