[OT]Dem ears versus ETD

[Barrie Heaton]

No  we have drifted a bit   I said with tong in't check "what will the
Eec have use ETD or our  ears" well  close to that any way.    Notting
to do with temperaments. Its all to do with   Qualifications or being a
member of an organization who's Qualifications are deemed to be OK with
the EEC or EPTA. And how you get them with an ETD or your lug holes
(northern term for ears).

Hypothetically  it could be....    By the year 2010  all  tuners in the
EEC or wishing to work in the EEC  will have to  hold the EPTA  level
one certificate.
All tuners wishing to tune for concerts will have to have level two
certificate. That is what they are up to. As indicated in the PTA mag
who sit on the EPTA council.

But what is upsetting some is that the EEC being the EEC they like
everything uniform down to the curve on a banana, all should be the same
- so they could eventually force us all to use ETD so well all conform
to the same standard of working practices  a bit paranoid perhaps.
