---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Brian: Your aural tunings will improve as you work with a VTD. dave *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 9/3/99 at 7:14 PM Brian Trout wrote: Hi John, I had to laugh at the first line! <grin> No steroids. Just a mix of rest, exercise, good eatin', and a few vitamins & minerals for good measure. :-) Actually, the only thing that hurt a bit was the hand that works the tuning hammer. Even got a small blister. But after a day of different kind of work, I'm all back to my usual self. (And I was pretty tired. They didn't ask me to do the tunings 'till I had already worked for about 4 hours... But a little sleep took care of that.) I haven't used an ETD yet. I've looked at the advertisements, and maybe wish a bit from time to time, but for the time being, I'm an aural tuner. I've been toying with Tunelab a bit, but I don't have a laptop computer, so it's pretty much academic for now. I would like to see if I could use an ETD to make me a better aural tuner. We'll see. But one thing about the 'marathon tuning', it was good for me in that I got to set 10 temperaments on 10 different pianos, the speed of which improved as I went, and they actually got better as I went. (Practice makes perfect...or at least we move in that direction...) I was going too fast, and they were in pretty bad tune for me to play with more or less stretch in the octaves. That'll have to be for another day! :-) I have the next week off, so I'll catch up on my R&R for sure!! :-) Hope you have a nice holiday weekend.

Congratulations. John Formsma P.S. Did you tune these aurally or electronically? _____________________________ David M.
