I very clearly said that the HT-only AND ET-only tuners seem defensive.
Please don't polarize what I say one way or another! As far as "writing
about how ET has contributed to the decline, I only illuminated postions that
others have taken.
>>Do you offer HT tunings for free?
No.

free? <<
Yes, I have been asked to do this four times in 7 years, and after retuning
two of those pianos back to ET, (a week later), the customers paid me AGAIN
to put it back into the well-temperament I had originally sold them. The
other two? They prefer an equal temperament, and I am glad to sell them
those.

Well, yes, but not that I think appropriate to spend bandwidth on here.
Should I post about shooting dove or skeet? Or cam timing and bearing
clearances on high performance racing engines? Or the canvases we paint
here, or the child-raising we do, or all the other facets of our life? I
don't care to load a piano technicians list with all this other stuff, I
thought we were all here on this cyber-plane to discuss our common interest,
ie, pianos, and keep it at that. Why would I be asked if I have a life?
