Ah...Susan, what's your address? > >David Ilvedson, RPT >Pacifica, CA 94044 <grin> No doubt you'd look very spiffy, and I would not. <grin> The day when I might have been convinced by an ETD demonstration is about twenty-five years in the past, for good or ill. And my impression is that the machines/programs available that long ago were nowhere near as good as the ones now. Remains the question, is high-volume work compatible with my present age, physical condition, and value system --- and it is not, both through necessity and by desire. It's perhaps ironic that my concert experience and expertise continues to grow more or less through its own momentum, when I would have given my eye teeth to be getting it earlier in my career, without the opportunity. I enjoy the concert work, consider it very important, and see no one else both fit and eager to take it over, at least in my area. The best I can do for my local musical community is to encourage "ordinary" tuning to diminish in volume so I can free up time for rest and recuperation. I hope by doing this to keep on tuning concerts for many years to come, or until someone has turned up whom I feel can do the work better than I can. (I'm a tough sell on that front <BIG GRIN>.) It's been a fun thread. Susan Kline, (b. 1946, like so many other people were)
