A really good tuner doesn't do that. Even if he/she uses an ETD. If you have good aural sklls, set the temperament, then go both ways just like an aural tuner would do, checking as you go! >I think aural tuning and eTD tuning can go hand in hand as well. Agreed. It's just another tool (or should be) in our arsenal! JMO. Anyone I train is going to learn how to tune aurally first. Even if "they" eventually use an ETD! Avery >Marshall >ps.
