Richard, Personal tastes certainly have something to do with this but in my experience it is the personal tastes of my customers that have dictated my tuning. I'll tune HTs when I get requests for them. So far not a one and I have mentioned HT to discerning customers. I don't think that because I'm in the tuning business it is my responsibility to be on a crusade to share the HTs with the world. I personally have experimented with a few via my SAT III but I play mostly Jazz and got tired of cringing...I think if I were in a University situation I would definitely have a few rooms with HT tunings. I expect soon to be lambasted by the far right (as in "I'm right, your not")..;-] *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 10/18/01 at 9:08 AM Richard Brekne wrote: >David Ilvedson wrote: > >> I still love ET...its cool! >> >> David I. >> > >They are all cool.
