Duaine You are convinced an ETD is suprior to an aural tuning. But by what standard are you judging this presumption? Has any one ever evaluated your tuning? Don't tell me your customers are happy and ask you back. How many have been unhappy and have not asked you back?

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
