[pianotech] Fw: Tuning, was advertising

[David M. Porritt]

As I watch the PBS Newshour tonight I'll be interested in their feature length story about how the Internet was brought down by a bunch of piano tuners arguing about the "Right" way to tune a piano. :-)

I can't quite agree with this, Keith. To breed a hybrid vegetable, two good
parent varieties are required. When bred to each other in volume, you 
end up with
a uniform hybrid strain, which you can reproduce year after year by 
going back
to the two parent varieties and crossing them again.

So, to make a "hybrid" tuner, you need someone who is qualified as an 
aural tuner,
and also fully adept at using the ETD. Those are the two parents. You
need for them both to be complete and strong, instead of getting half of 
one
and half of the other.

In my HUMBLE opinion, of course.

Susan
