1. Whatever the merits of your ideas, they will not be such a miracle
improvement over all others that people will want to pay, methinks. And we
have a planetfull of ears that are pretty accustomed to ET, anyway.

2. Watch your language please. There are ladies, and gentlemen, who read
this list.

3. Besides, I've already patented the ideal continental tuning. It's
official name is the "Bardot Belle Outside Well Temperament," but I just
call it the "French Curve." I have attached a graphic of the shape of this
curve for any who wish to analyze it.

OK, kidding is a normal reaction to suppress fear.

And if one reads the reactions on this list about patenting a tuning method,

it seems that everybody feels pissed on by this.

But let me tell, that there are already many serious colleagues who see the
marketing chance of a protected method.

You can easily ask more for a high valued work and get much higher paid than

you pay  license fees.

Professional music business is also often big money business. Do you know
what a world class pianist asks for a concert evening?

And the tuner who makes the work to get the pianist fly, is the asshole for
some bucks.

Same big money business for professional CDs. Suppose you get a job for a
recording session. And suppose, OnlyPure is a synonyme for protected quality

like dolby. The CD label will be interested to use the OnlyPure mark on the
CD. Thus, they pay for the use of the mark, and the tuner will be
participated. Sounds good, doesn´t?

If an enhanced method is protected by patenting, there is a good chance, to
ask a price that relates more to the quality and importance of the work
done.

To license a good product is a chance for a good deal, not a bad deal.
