[pianotech] Stretch in tuning

[David Lawson]

Thanks Ron. I am not actually looking to purchase an ETD as I am too close 
to retirement, and I am still managing to do a reasonable concert tune. Just 
the question of the stretch that has always been a bone of contention 
amongst my peers. It has always been a 'matter of opinion', which is not 
quite perfect tuning IMO.
Best regards,
David

" I understand that ETD build in stretching. Does this facility take into 
consideration of the idiosyncrasies of the indivual instrument like the
human ear?
David LawsonLet's go back to the beginning - Yes they do...  HOW they do it 
is up to each machine - and most have some sort of user-control to 
assist/over-ride the machine to suit the individual technician.  The 
commonly used /piano specific ones all have some way for the machine to take 
data from the piano to helpcontrol this process.  Is that what you were 
looking for?Ron Koval
