E.T.D.

[Alan R. Barnard]

Oh, Buffalo Sauce.

I bought the Yamaha when I first got into the biz because I "won" it at a
reasonable(?) price on eBay. Made a considerable sum of money using it. Made
many customers happy. Used it to help learn to tune without it, by ear, when
I need to.

Would I like a new SAT III? YOU BET. Do I have $1600 to spend on it. Nope.

Here is my secret for getting pretty nice tunings with the PT100: Learn to
tune the bass by ear right off. The ETD won't stretch most pianos enough
going down. If you set the scale to the best approximation of the Yamaha
piano sizes, you will get a decent temperament and treble.

This has been my $0.02
