Another one:  I just followed up on a new piano, C7, that had been tuned 
a week prior; belongs to a quite famous and talented writer, pianist and 
arranger; the man who tuned it, I found out later, has a good reputation 
and has been in leadership in PTG for a number of years. He tuned with 
some kind of an ETD; I was, at first, admiring his tuning: "pretty damn 
good for a robot...." <g>; then  got out my Jurassic Period Tone 
Generator (ye olde fork).  Guess what?  The piano was 12-14 cents flat!
I couldn't believe it.  Don't them machines tell ya whut pitch you 
a-tunin' on?

All I could figure was the dealer only paid him for a tuning, and, by 
gawd that's all he was going to do.
Incomprehensible to me.
