Theory and practice of piano tuning by Brian Capleton

[Ed Sutton]

Patrick-

Well, given how my mortal existance is being used up in relentlessly flowing 24 hour days, I find myself asking what is the best investment of the time I have to try to improve myself before it's too late.  
Should I read and study every page of this book, study Dan Levitan's recent Lectures on Aural Tuning, or just invest a bit more time and effort checking and tuning unisons in octave 7? 
I am not smart enough to answer this question with certainty, so I dabble at all three as the mood strikes. Clearly I will not live long enough to learn everything about pianos.

  Hmmmm, coming from someone who hopes to review the book whenever you can actually get through it (and you apparently started months ago), sounds a bit like you consider this an unreadable tome??

    I'd be curious to know if anyone has been reading the book, finding it helpful, and how. It certainly presents itself as the ultimate authoritative text for the Artist/Scientist/Master/Doctor of Pianotunology. And maybe it is.
