Floyd Steven's book entitled something like "Piano Tuning & Servicing" was the
first book on piano technology I ever read. Fortunately, I had borrowed a copy
from the library because if I remember right, this light weight book cost
about double what a current hardcover best seller would go for. In this book
he soundly denounced the use of any electronic tuning device. Having made this
view very clear, it was then inevitable that the title of his next book would
be "Electronic Piano Tuning".
Hey, anyone can have a change of heart.
