TWO pianos ?

[David Love]

You certainly can do it aurally--I have many times in the past--but its a
hell of a lot easier with an ETD.  When tuning more than two pianos
together I would tune them all to a single source.  If you tune one to the
other down the line, small changes can become magnified over six pianos,
kind of like playing telephone.
