Hi to all:

Why is it that most of the time an expert aural tuner is compared to a
novice machine tuner?

You know it works both ways.

If you want to compare aural vs machine tunings, why not compare novice
aural tunings with novice machine tunings. All a novice aural tuner needs
is to buy a $7.50 Tuning Hammer and a couple of wedges coupled with a
great ego (he thinks he can tune) and he is in business.

Or to continue to keep it fair, compare an expert machine tuner with an
expert aural tuner.

I have never seen in print a comparison of an expert machine tuner with
a novice aural tuner.

Just a simple observation.
