Duaine, To quote your post from today: "I used to be until I could not afford it" David Ilvedson, RPT Pacifica, CA 94044 Original message From: "Duaine & Laura Hechler" To: pianotech at ptg.org Received: 12/17/2008 12:20:15 AM Subject: Re: [pianotech] Verituner Help... John, This attitude is why I quit the organization. Duaine John Formsma wrote: It is highly unlikely that a one-pass "tuning", raising pitch 90-120 cents will ever turn out well. It would probably never be up to RPT standards. This is not to say that it might not ever happen ... "ever" is a long time. But pianos just do not normally react this way. Duaine, may I respectfully say that you have disqualified yourself from judging what should be on the RPT exam? If you "absolutely can't understand the checks and which one is faster/slower 3rds/4ths and all of that," then you really are not qualified to judge what constitutes a good tuning. I'd have kept silent if you'd merely stated that you can tune better with a machine than by ear. But you have made some statements that just ain't so. -- JF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
