She called the evening of the afternoon it was tuned, and I got her in as soon as I could. This has happened with both aural, and ETD tuners. I can often tell who the last tuner was a year after the last tuning by what remains. It's easier to do that with an aural tuning, naturally. I always found it much easier tuning when I follow (but not stalk) myself. Otherwise, I have to re-train the darn thing. Ron N
