Hi John,

I had to laugh at the first line! <grin> =20

No steroids.  Just a mix of rest, exercise, good eatin', and a few =
vitamins & minerals for good measure.  :-)

Actually, the only thing that hurt a bit was the hand that works the =
tuning hammer.  Even got a small blister.  But after a day of different =
kind of work, I'm all back to my usual self.  (And I was pretty tired.  =
They didn't ask me to do the tunings 'till I had already worked for =
about 4 hours...  But a little sleep took care of that.)

I haven't used an ETD yet.  I've looked at the advertisements, and maybe =
wish a bit from time to time, but for the time being, I'm an aural =
tuner.  I've been toying with Tunelab a bit, but I don't have a laptop =
computer, so it's pretty much academic for now.  I would like to see if =
I could use an ETD to make me a better aural tuner.  We'll see.  But one =
thing about the 'marathon tuning', it was good for me in that I got to =
set 10 temperaments on 10 different pianos, the speed of which improved =
as I went, and they actually got better as I went.  (Practice makes =
perfect...or at least we move in that direction...)  I was going too =
fast, and they were in pretty bad tune for me to play with more or less =
stretch in the octaves.  That'll have to be for another day! :-)

I have the next week off, so I'll catch up on my R&R for sure!!  :-)=20

Hope you have a nice holiday weekend.

    Dear Brian Schwarzeneggar,
    =20
    Send me whatever steroids you are taking, and I'll wrestle some =
Baldwins, too. :-)

    P.S.  Did you tune these aurally or electronically?
