Doug, This, I must say, is the sort of truly extraordinary technical spirit to which we live in hope of some day being of some nurturing part. To have produced 17 enthusiastically received tunings in only 13 months is a staggering achievement for one of so relatively humble an accumulated experience. Considering the relatively embryonic level of your development as an inharmonicity warrior, you might well be considered a tuning prodigy, or at the very least an entrepreneurial spirit of the first blush. Please accept our admiration and congratulations, sir. While your grasp of the nomenclature is of a moderately unorthodox nature, your understanding of both the physical processes, and perceived results of the process are inarguably of the highest caliber. At your present phenomenal rate of progress, we fully expect to be receiving reports of your successful tuning by rumor and insinuation by year's end at the latest. At such time, you shall be the envy of the worldwide technical community, and your future will be assured as the star of stage, screen, television, and supermarket openings. Your mere autograph will some day suffice as a proxy piano tuning, if there's any justice in the world at all, and we of the humbled and less talented technical community will forever bask in the reflected glow of having known you when... Gosh! PS: Raise your rates. Ron N
