Mowtown

[Annie Grieshop]

Julia,

Assuming you meant "Motown", I'd suggest you watch "Standing in the Shadows
of Motown", a documentary about the backup musicians who created that
wonderful sound.  From their descriptions of the early days, I wonder
whether the pianos were even tuned for sessions....  It might also give you
some leads to who might have the answers to your questions.

And if you haven't seen it, check out "Buena Vista Social Club" for more
marvelous music on poorly maintained pianos,  particularly the playing of
Ruben Gonzalez.

  Greetrings,

                   Does anyone know of any tuners that tuned for Mowtown?
How can I find out what tuners were working on that area in that time? I
wanna know if they tuned in ET, because things sound as if its NOT ET on
ALOT of the recordings.
