I agree that a tuner needs to understand and be able to apply the concepts of aural tuning. Once this is understood, the tuner can then use whatever technology is available to accomplish the desired goal. Doctors spend many years training in biology, etc. Would you be comfortable with a Doctor who disbelieved in the use of X-Rays ? If this Doctor needed to do an emergency fix in the field he could do it, but certainly would follow up his procedure with tests and X-rays, etc. Technology is always spurned by some. The time will come when "every" piano tuner will be using ETD's to some extent. Until that time, there will always be those who prefer the horse and buggy to the Concorde. P.S. It is pouring rain right now and there is a guy cutting the grass in my complex. Go figure? Tom Thompson Ft. Worth
