[pianotech] aural tuning

[algiers_piano at bellsouth.net]

Hi Brian, good to hear from you. You took the words out of my mouth. I still run most of my aural checks even with the ETD, but it can save a lot of time on bad pianos and pitch raises. It's all about the skill of the person doing the work. Hope you're doing well!
