I like to think that my aural tunings are purty dern good, so I have no fear of the battery running low. If it does, I can usually plug in my laptop and tune while it's charging. - try that with your Siemens... ;-} If I can't reach a live outlet, it ain't no big deal. What my ETD _will_ do, that an in-the-ear one won't, is what I describe (to customers who care to know) as "heavy lifting". Yesterday, I tuned a Baldwin 243 up to A440. It was found at 435.3Hz. Two easy passes, my wetware didn't sweat a bit and it sounded purty dern good. (as good as _it_ could, anyway ;-) Oh, did I tell you that it was located in the cafeteria, next to the lineup of drink coolers? BTW, I'm 60 and I _did_ have an audiogram in the fall. I can still hear purty dern good. Results were within the margin of error to those of 20 years ago. I wear earplugs (w/o batteries) while tuning, and credit them with preserving my hearing. YMMV, of course. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
