Tuning

[pianotune05]

Hi David,
I tune by ear, and I'm a new guy on the block and holding my ground I do add. ;)  In fact, I tried using ear plugs while tuning and that worked great.   I'm sight impaired and I have trouble reading the displays on these ETDs.  The lights I can see fine.  I think they have their place IMHO, :) but for me it's easier to just hone the skill of aural tuning.

  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.
