I would take issue that you have made any points at all, just spurious and inaccurate comments in a desperate attempt to avoid the error of your website. If you would take the time to actually read what was posted, you would notice that I wrote: > as In spite of the author's claim to have created "a new temperament which retains the true "colors" or >tonality known in the past", the EBVT, as described, cannot do that,<snip> I stand behind that. What part of "as described" is so hard to understand? All of your ranting will not change how the temperament is described on the site, which is all I have addressed; not how you tune, what you tune, your love life, or anything else. >I'm going to warn Ed Foote right here and now not to start saying anything >about this at all, such as "inconsistency" or anything else. Your warnings carry no weight with me, so let me be very clear. Your numbers are wrong, your procedure is malleable, and your results are so subjective that they defy utility. The imbalances are there, but I will leave it to the number crunchers to specify exactly what and where, I make my judgements by listening to aural and electronic results and comparing the differences. >While using the correction figures method is valid to a point, it doesn't >allow the tuner to really know what is being done unless that person goes >through the tuning and aurally verifies it. Dr. Sanderson will be the >first to tell you this. It only gets you close, it is a calculated approximation. Which is exactly why I posted long ago that the Jorgensen book's aural bearing plans should be used to verify the results of using the machine offsets, but that is a detail Mr. Bremmer managed to overlook. All tuning is a calculated approximation, regardless of how one goes about it, but on well-scaled pianos, the differences between the offsets and following the aural instructions are academic. > If Ed Foote wants to continue to play his insult, defamation and discrediting game, I have bigger and better >ammunition than he does. This is not a game. Among other things, you have repeatedly posted that I have called certain manufacturers specific products junk, which is totally false, and is, imo, an attempt to damage my professional relationships within the industry. You don't think I am going to sit idly by while this happens, do you? You have responded to a critique of your creation with personal attacks, and insinuations of incompetance, which violates every ethical standard of debate. Everything posted so far on this subject is a matter of public record, and the decision on how your behaviour reflects upon the Guild as a whole is soon to be out of my hands. Ed Foote RPT
