Your story could be told many times over. In the years when I was doing studio work, certainly this kind of tuning would have been a very quick ticket out of town - it still would be, in some areas. While I am quite excited about getting this method more carefully dissected, perhaps it is well to keep in mind that, like pianos, no two clients are alike. Paraphrasing myself from another context, what works for _me_ and for _my_ clientele might be problematic for someone else. I no longer do any studios, so do not have to worry about either the electronic instruments, or the specific needs found in that environment. The point might be that I can "get away with" a stretch that might not work for many others. Still, my primary concern and goal is for each instrument I service to be the best that _it_ can reasonably be. This equation, if you will, certainly tries to take a client's preferences into account. Without regard to "slow times" none of us can really afford to lose clients for the wrong reasons. Best.
