That's kinda like a plumber afraid to replace a pipe. I look forward to 
strings breaking. Oh boy I get to do something else besides tune for the next 
fifteen minuites.   A440 is and absolute prerequisite for anyone taking piano 
lessons. Less is a worthless disservice, an embarassment to the profession.  
For most of these tooners there was no old school and that's why they are so 
stooopid. I know of several who just bought a bag of tools . I like to call 
them correspondence school drop-outs.  There are a few other tuners who do 
just fine with tuning but choose not to learn repair techniques. They call me 
. God Bless 'em.  You don't need to know everything if you network with 
others .           Joseph D. Gotta RPT
