Some technicians like a challenge; some technicians prefer not to drag out electronic equipment in front of the customer; some technicians like to travel light; some technicians are cheapskates. Seems to me that either way is viable. If I had wanted to tune using a machine, I would have purchased a Strobe-Conn in 1970 when I purchased William Braid White's book, "Piano Tuning and Allied Arts," instead of waiting until 1990 to take a piano tuning course. I, for the life of me, can see the use of using my ear to raise pitch...I do it quite often--today, for example. Different strokes for different folks! Joy!
