Dear Bill,
This subject is about credit cards and the use there off.
If you want to change the subject please do so in the subject line, I =
can't find any reference to CC in your rave.
The fact that you say you have received no complaints could also mean =
that your customers are all blonde.

I've accepted them for years, usually a few transactions per month. =
To date, after 10 years of tuning mostly the EBVT and a total of 13 =
years of never once tuning ET, I have never had a single customer ask me =
to tune the piano !!!!!!BACK!!!!!! to ET. In the earlier years before I =
came up with the EBVT idea, I did have a few people who asked for =
something milder at the next tuning. This is one of the factors that =
lead to the development of the EBVT which has never once received a =
complaint.
This, of course, in spite of what Ed Foote had to say about it. I you =
were to believe him, the entire audience of technicians at both the 1998 =
Temperament Festival and the repeat demonstration in Chicago in =
September 1999 were *duped* into thinking that in Ed's own words, a =
temperament with "very poor harmonic balance" and octaves that "don't =
make sense at all" sounded acceptable enough to prevail over Virgil =
Smith's ET.

tuning 6 pianos today, one of them for a public performance and =
traveling to a town 50 miles away to tune 3 of them for a group of =
clients who want only what I have to offer. I still use the same =
programs I developed as long as 9 years ago, the programs Ed Foote =

at those PTG functions. I have now put on my website my irrevocable =
answer to Ed Foote for all who visit my website to read.
I've seen quite a few good and informative posts by Ed Foote recently. =
It shows how well and positively he can write when he is not consumed =
by jealousy over the obvious mediocrity of his tuning skills when =
compared to mine. Ed Foote wants to be a leader in his field but it is =
not going to happen by simply ridiculing what I do and copying numbers =
out of books.
"Sideways Well": the pit Ed Foote dug for himself to wallow in the =
day he knowingly published false data for the EBVT on Pianotech.=20
