Bill,
I feel that using anything other than ETon a piano without the customer =
being informed would be  arbitrary as what 99.9% either do not know =
there is a difference or can not fully judge and compair the result. I =
have been led to feel this way from my over 20 years of tuning for =
customers who were very satisfied with my work when my ears were telling =
me the tunings were just so so.
To my ears the piano, guitar, orchestra bells (all fixed instruments) =
are extremely out of tune.
Give me the good olde Barber shop quartet and my ears are satisfied.
Oh yes , once heard a junior college symphonic band play a piece that =
used  chords built on fourths like C F Bb Eb Ab=20
The resulting major second relationships were beatless. Their =
performance was stunning. I wish the name of the piece would come to =
mind but alas my forgetter is getting too good.

    Susan doesn't seem angry, and she's not giving a tirade. Big =

  Right.  My post was an angry, violent tirade and I go around abusing =
everybody and imposing my own ridiculous, convoluted, twisted ideas on =
everybody.  It drives everyone away and is a disgrace to the entire =

  Now that that's out of the way, what about the real question:  isn't =

the public without their informed consent?=20
