Guys, get this:  Tuning is listening.  Period.  If you can't listen, you have no way of knowing whether your results are acceptable or not.  Those who lack the ability or skills to hear well enough to tune, shouldn't, unless they are actively developing those skills.  Saying someone who can't hear to tune shouldn't be [deterred] from being a tuner is like saying someone who is blind shouldn't be deterred from racing cars.  You need to see to drive a race car, you need to hear to tune pianos.  Listening is the foremost skill necessary to be a tuner.  Now, if you want to be a rebuilder and can't hear to tune, there's nothing that says you cant be the best rebuilder in the world.  Different skill set.


Very well put and I am in agreement, great post.
