[pianotech] Aural training with an ETD

[Zoe Sandell]

Thanks Ron

I definitely want to zero my ear into what is correct- and it makes sense to
check it every step of the way.  Great suggestion

I did end up buying the ipaq 111 and giving the other one away as a gift. No
sense running it on a machine that can't take in all the partials.

Thanks again kindly
Zoe

I wanted to respond to Zoe about practicing tuning with a Verituner.
 
It's been written about by others, but what seems to work better
than checking your whole temperament after finishing with the box, is
to keep the box on, but pointed away/covered.  Then check after
each of your tuning steps.  The idea is to practice getting it right -
not correcting yourself after you are done getting it wrong.  
 
Practice doesn't make perfect... PERFECT practice makes perfect!  
You want to train yourself to hear each step right, time and time
again until you feel it better.  That should help you progress much
faster.
 
Good luck!

(Zoe - did you ever get a pocket pc that runs quicker for the Verituner?)
