I wonder what this would tell us? Even if (when?) the number of tuners relying solely on an EDT of some sort outnumbered the aural tuners -- I'm wondering what that would prove. There are, after all, far more MacDonald's fast food joints around than there are Portofino's Restaurants. ddf Delwin D Fandrich Piano Design & Fabrication 620 South Tower Avenue Centralia, Washington 98531 USA del at fandrichpiano.com ddfandrich at gmail.com Phone 360.736.7563 -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Duaine Hechler Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 11:20 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Counts ....... Apparently, arguing and bantering over this issue of aural vs ETD is getting nowhere. So lets turn to facts....not speculation .... cold hard facts ......coming from HQ and/or surveys Can anyone shed the light on some facts, like: How many established aural tuners are out there ? How many established ETD tuners are out there ? How many - new - tuners have started with aural tuning ? How many - new - tuners have started with ETD tuning ? Are the number of persons going after RPT, on the rise or decline ? Are the number of persons, taking and passing the - tuning - portion of the RPT test, on the rise or decline ? These facts should tell the real story ! -- Duaine Hechler Piano, Player Piano, Pump Organ Tuning, Servicing & Rebuilding Reed Organ Society Member Florissant, MO 63034 (314) 838-5587 dahechler at att.net www.hechlerpianoandorgan.com -- Home & Business user of Linux - 11 years
