Tuning

[J. R. White]

I’m an ear tuner, too, for more than thirty years.  I use Reyburn Cyber
tuner, and find I’m a better ear tuner today than I was five years ago.  I
think of the machine as a critical monitor.  And sometimes I just have an
“off” day.  This “assistant” pushes me, helps me make sure I’m doing my
best.  

I don’t think the machine is better than I am; but it surely keeps me
honest!

G'day to you all.

As an oldie, and an aural tuner, and knowing very little about electronic
tuning devices, I am amazed at the amount of reference there is to the
later. Are there still people being taught aural tuning, or have those days
gone? I find the ear to be the best way to judge what is required from a
tuning of a particular piano. I may be wrong, however using an ETD seems to
me to be similar to playing a digital keyboard, you get what they give you.
Am I way off the beam, or just a little too old to judge?

Love the banter.
