[CAUT] Electronic Tuning Preferences

[wbis290 at aol.com]

Hi everyone,

The ongoing debate has been great of using an ETD versus aural tuning. 
I feel that maybe this should be put to rest. I agee that 99.9% could 
not tell which way the piano was tuned. I do feel that  a person should 
learn to tune aurally before they start to use an ETD but once that 
they have mastered that, who cares if they tune aurally or with an ETD. 
I do feel that one should always use there aural skills along with the 
ETD. All the artist wants is the piano to sound good. I have had 
artists been happy with tunings that I have done both ways. You are 
either a good competant tuner or you are not.
