  Hello Quintin,

  "Maybe using machines instead of human aptitudes to make something is =
something people in France are not used to."

  Machines and human aptitudes are not separated. The use of machines =
enabled the French to manufacture Mirage jet airplanes,Citroens,great =
cheese and wine! The machine did not replace the humans aptitudes,it =
allowed him to use them more efficiently. Is there a real difference =
between a master vintenor and a master piano tuner?

  "The customers can be very reluctant to this, but also a lot of techs, =
who really don't consider these devices as a second pair of ears, or as =
an aid to make their job."=20

  It is their loss not yours.

  "disappointed, because in their minds, piano tuners are making =
something magic with their ears, and they truly believe that very few =
people are able to tune pianos."
  "So this exactly deals with customer education."=20

  Yes,and this includes debunking myths and old wives tales.

  "pickings"(with action removed) to raise the pitch of the restrung =
pianos very quickly with the help of the ETD.
  For this purpose, I think the oldies can make their job."

  Yes, here we call it 'chipping',and they will help.

  "But of course, it is a totally different thing when fine-tuning a =
piano with one of these oldies."

  Yes!

  Huge deletion:

  "so for the moment, Tunelab will be great for me. I hope it will help =
me to improve my aural skills."

  That is all we can ask for.=20

  Hubert
