>From William R. Monroe:"How many ETD users have more than one device?..I'd guess few.  I agree there are solutions for ETD users (myself included - I only have one) but for mostfolks, if the unit fails, they have no back-up,"
***********************************
Really?  What a concept - I've got three options betweenmy case, my pocket and the car...
And from Ryan Sowers:"What raises my eyebrows  is so called "professional" piano technicians who can't tune two octaves in the middle of the piano to save their life."*******************************
Those two octaves are the easiest for a machine to solve...And if you add the alternate temperament complication,well, it just seems like there's a misplaced value ofimportance for solving that ET puzzle aurally.
The real ear skill that's valuable is the "musician's" ear to solve the more important puzzle of how to relate all the octaves to each other to make the piano "sing".
