I certainly have never interfered with anyone tuning pianos using devices, or badmouthed the devices to my customers. While the ETD at present seems to be the fashion, I think it's wise to remember that the old way of tuning is still quite viable, and enjoyable. I don't think any piano tuner is worse off from being ABLE to tune without a device. I've watched a few people using ETDs to tune, and never felt tempted. It didn't look like all that much fun. If you could stop feeling inferior and threatened by aural tuning, I think you might enjoy learning it. It has considerable musical rewards, hearing all the different intervals in their variety, and enjoying the architecture of the whole thing. It's what one might call an enriching experience. All this without any thought for the day your batteries run low unexpectedly, or you drop your ETD and the screen shatters ...
