[OT] Aural versus ETD tuning training

[David Love]

RB:

Perhaps I was confused by your statement:

"Certainly Ron N makes a valid point. Piano techs ofte times display the
same kind of lack of understanding about the instrument as pianists do."

I didn't feel that a difference of opinion that Ron mentioned necessarily
implied a lack of understanding.  There are valid differences of opinion
about some things that might confuse pianists without a technical
understanding.  I took that as his point, not that piano techs often lack an
understanding of their instrument.

Well I would think it is plenty reasonable enough to read the following
quote ---

"And that's not even taking into account that pianists will get
different answers to the same
question posed to different piano techs."

---- from Rons post in the direction I took it.

But if you first want to start pecking at grammatics, I would like to
point out that I made no direct reference to what Rons point was or
wasnt. I simply said he made a valid point. And then I went on to make a
couple of my own.

Guess this goes to show how easy it is to "read" someone elses words in
about as many ways as you can think of when it comes down to it.

Sorry if you got confused.
