Mr. Silverman- you make some interesting points- certainly the technology is becoming available whereby the average piano owner could conceivably learn to tune his/her own piano- I think you give very short shrift, however, to the very difficult and time consuming task of learning hammer control. Even putting that aside and assuming that has been achieved, I can only believe that the average person has so many things going on, as I do, that they would be more than happy to pay a professional to do the job- I know how to change the oil in my car- it would save me a fair amount of money per year to do it myself- but I would rather pay someone to do it. And I wouldn't really even begin to compare the two jobs in terms of the time energy and focus it takes do them. Just some thoughts on the matter. Sincerely, Ileen Kaplan
