David,

That's quite a mouthful, and I'm in no position to refute it.  Virgil Smith and
Jim Coleman Sr. are recognized top-flight tuners.  It would indeed be interesting
to see what the outcome would be if you could be in a contest with them.

I wonder how much of our subjective analyses has to do with how each of us thinks
a tuning should sound.  Your tuning might sound vastly superior to you and some
of your clients, but some technicians/pianists may think otherwise.  I like
mayonnaise with my french fries; just because I'm in the minority doesn't mean
I'm wrong.  You may not be wrong, either.  It's a matter of preference, isn't it?

Regards,
Clyde
