Dear Net

The fact that Jim Coleman, Sr. is one of the finest tuners in the country
should be fairly obvious to all of us by now. Winning the "Great American
Tune off" certainly hasn't done anything to diminish that reputation.

I, for one, would be extremely interested in how he actually tuned those
pianos.
Were the tunings straight FAC tunings?
Was the SAT used at all?
If so, in what ways did he deviate from the FAC?

If you folks would like to hear about this as well..please respond in
kind so that he may feel comfortable about taking the time to respond.
