What is your point here, really? It seems like you are just baiting Duaine with your questions, then whatever he answers you can jump in and tell him he's not much of tuner. Please stop making this personal.

You're somewhat right. I am not necessarily trying to "bait" him, but I am interested in how he uses his machine to tune a piano. He says he is a hybrid tuner, one who uses aural checks, but perhaps he doesn't understand what he is doing, and perhaps we, or I, can give him some help in that case. That is, if he is willing to accept some help.

"...but everyone who uses an ETD checks their tuning aurally"
 
If that is true, then I guess you have just called Duaine an aural tuner. 'Nough said.

I hate to burst your bubble, Duaine, but everyone who uses an ETD checks their tuning aurally. That's what were supposed to do. The difference is, unlike you, everyone else knows what they are doing when they aurally check their tuning. They know how to listen for beats, and do all the various checks, like thirds, double octaves, etc.

     So based on the above fact and other entries in this list, I can be
     called a "hybrid" tuner.

 I don't undertand what you mean by a "hybrid" tuner.
