I tuned a S$S B today for someone. I went armed with a few charts printed 
out from Jason's site for visual aides.
She was very receptive to the WT idea and I suggested the Broadwood Best. I 
tuned the center three octaves and let her sample
and she liked it. I tuned the rest of the piano...she loved it.  It is the 
sound she has been looking for, trying this tuner and that tuner.

She liked the warmth it gave to the piano and the enhanced intonation.

Driving home, I got to thinking; the 20th century gave us the dumbing-down 
of education and the toning-down of intonation.
