However, Les & Horace, The ones I got came in a container from Westone (I think they do hearing aids). They are numbered ER-15, like the ones my wife got several years ago from Etymotics Research. I don't know if Etymotics has been subsumed by Westone or what. As far as the price, mine were $140 at the California convention. Some on the list have quoted a lower price elsewhere, but I decided I had waited way too long and I wanted them RIGHT THEN. I considered them paid for within two days, as I tuned one piano per day I hadn't planned to, just out of the sheer joy of not getting my ears beat up. Speaking of necessary tools of the trade, we think nothing of spending $100 for a new tuning lever or $1,500 for an Accu-Tuner, but it seems like so much when it comes to spending $1xx for a lifetime of hearing.... Yes, we humans are strange. Didn't you know? Bob Davis
