Hello Terry, Mark and List
You are so right! Do develop a good tuning ear, Mark. Although it may be =
said that the end result is all that matters - it's also good for your =
morale if you can not only set the bearings by ear, but develop a keen =
sense of hearing to get those top notes in tune! (as well as the bottom =
notes!) It's the hearing of the beats in given intervals which will =
guide you. The horse and Cart has no part in this - however, a horse and =
trap would be an excellent alternative mode of transport ... no petrol! =
(sorry, gasoline!)

  I'm not familiar with the phrase: "'Horse and cart' piano tuning". =
What is that?

  Are you suggesting that it is foolish to learn to tune aurally - that =
it is better to just start out using an ETD?

  Hmmmmmm.

           Mark...Do yourself a favour and give up "Horse and cart" =
piano tuning, and buy a recognized ETD. The Cybertuner program is what =
you really need, and more, in the year 2005.

          I have been "tuning" for several months now. I know that this =
isn't
          very long but there is no sense in continually turning out =
tunings that
          just don't sound right in the treble.
          I feel I have a good enough ear on this matter.
          I tune aurally and would like to know what partial(s) to =
listen for to
          make this stretch sound more accurate.
          I have no trouble in the bass, only the treble.

          Thank you for your time
