I've tuned several pianos now on the = information Ed Foote passed out in his class--Tuning To Taste by Owen = Jorgenson--I think that's right. So far I've been following the = directions quite literally and coming up with a tuning that is similar = to Kirnberger (Prinz). It's getting comfortable so I plan to branch out = and, using the same directions, shift towards the Vallotti-Young style. = I'm finding these instructions to render the flexibility to do this and = come up with a very nice sounding piano. For me, this is really new and = exciting stuff! I spoke with a minister about HT's who leads a guitar = group in worship services. He's very interested in trying it. Others = have expressed an interest in it including a retailer. Also, I followed Bill Bremmer's instructions for EBVT. The test piano = was a small grand I've just restrung,etc. It sounds better than the ET I = had initially tuned it to. There is a chapter meeting at my shop this = week end, and we'll scrutinize the tuning. Several of the members are = accomplished musicians. I'm anxious to hear their reactions. I must say = it takes me awhile to get the temperaments set (aural tuning only). The = EBVT took me about an hour, but the others take me about 15-20 minutes. = The practice is helping. All in all, thanks to all who have contributed = and encouraged me and others to try. It's very enjoyable!
