Hi Everyone, I wouldn't say that I tune as a hobby because I tune aurally alone. I wouldn't be able to begin to read one of those at a distance or follow the lights around. So in my case aural tuning is my only option, and I'm capitalizing on the skill God gave me. I love the satisfaction I get after a tuning and the customers respones as well. I do think ETDs are interesting by all means. I don't think anyone is putting anyone down for using them, but simply saying that they are a tool. It's no different than using a paps mute or rubber mute in the treble. Some like one over the other. Do we travel left to right or right to left wen we do the unisons? Some say right to left is better? different choices. I think having a firm grasp on aural tuning is good when technology fails you, you have a back up. It all boils down fo r me, I'm thankful I can tune. Now I just need more customers and referrals which I'm not sure why I'm not getting but hopefully I will soon.
