The Japanese at Yamaha teach all their students with the help of the ETD, and produce many fine tuners. I've started off a few with none of the problems you emphasis, and I know of other technicians who teach tuning with the help of ETD's and do not share your experience. Sorry Chris. I cant agree with you here. Cheers RicB
