This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Oh, Ric, you had me going there for a minute - that is until I read: "Not having tried the Verituner myself....." Then I understood where you were coming from. ;-) Terry Farrell Would I suggest you dont know what you're talking about ???? grin.. = surely you jest. If there is anyone who deserves the=20 title of Piano Guru in my book, surely you are amoung the most valued = of these. Still, my own concerns hold, and do not really come in conflict with = your enthusiasms for Verituner. I just find it suspect at best to assume = that=20 tuning interests are served by developing the idea that we only need = the machine. That we need not develop a musical ear for ourselves, that = we need not develop an theoretical understanding of tuning in general, = that we need not put the machines solution (regardless of how good that = is or isnt) into the perspective of the subjective yet learned EAR. Not having tried the Verituner myself, I of course can not speak to = its pros and cons beyond the fact that I am on record for being in = support of the general multipartial approach. The single partial = approach does not really do it for me. I find too many examples like the = one that started this thread that result from out and out reliance on = single partial tuning curves. But my point is not about whether their = exists a <<good enough>> tuning machine or not. It goes to what happens = when we become so reliant on them that we no longer can <<hear>> much = less <<understand>> what a good tuning is anymore. I'm all for using = ETD's... but only as a supplement. Keeping the collective << tuners ear = >> trained, schooled, and ready can only be a good idea as far as I can = see.
