aural tuning

[Dmsaerts@aol.com]

I have noticed that some (not all) ETD tuners get over time so little aural
practice that their unisons overall but in particular in the upper treble
suck. Some even pluck the strings with their finger nails? It is fantastic
that one string is electronically, perfectly on pitch. But what about the
other two? 
What about the "audience" will that one day be the "electroniance." 
There are many good reasons to tune aurally as there are some reasons to tune
with an ETD. Most aural tuners are very confident about their ability to make
any piano sound musically correct. All ETD tuners are confident about their
ETD's until they buy a "better one."
