This is a multipart message in MIME format ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Well, now we've got a skilled aural tuner who now uses a ETD and= his ear, i.e. he has experience both, and we have you who tune= by ear only. (I believe?) Don't you think you should be= investigating the potential of ETDs in improving you tuning? = Maybe you think it can't be improved?

There is no= evidence to support the claim that using ETD's (without= qualification of how they are used) in general contributes to a= positive developement in a tuners skills. My own experience= with the US testing process would indicate to me that there is= indeed good cause for concern. I find this kind of statement made often by ETD enthusiasts who= are very good aural tuners, and the reasons they give are= reasons I can most certainly accept, yet in most cases they do= not seem to relate to the person who never has learned these= skills to the same degree... nor the person who so heavily= relies on ETD's that years go by since the last time they= actually practiced their aural skills. This, I think, is a valid concern... and until it is shown= conclusively to be false... I am forced to continue to position= myself behind it. All this said.... I really rather think the only real significant= difference between your view and my own, is how we go about= stating them. I notice by your closing statement, you too= underline the need to be able to oversee the ETD. The central= point to my position. Cheers RicB And the beauty of it all, meaning : having tuned aurally AND= having tuned Machinically, is thatt when the battery is empty, I= happily continue tuning with da pinkies. And tuning with a good machine does not make us numb or dumb, it= makes us sharp and keen. I do not and shall never rely on an ETD only. I have proved this to myself and to others. I done an aural tuning test over and over till I dropped. Capisce encora? ((; <>;)) ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
