Ron, first, you are base because it is a - he - and not a -she.

Second, I am so tired of having my words twisted.

I am - not - against RPT's as such, I'm against the RPT's that are
arrogant to say that there is no room for ETD tuners. And that ETD
tuners should not be allowed in service until they pass the aural tuning
test. As well as not being "professional" enough.

And, now, not that I need to defend my mentor, but you are forcing me to it.

My mentor, as previously stated, was an aural tuner for over 30+ years.

Pianos - and - Organs - and - some times as they play together.

To - save - his - hearing - he moved to the use of Cybertuner.

This decision leads to - much - less - noise - having to do all the
different checks and tests involving harsh tones are diminished

As well as the frequency of these harsh tones diminishing (if tuning a
lot of pianos in the same day)

BTW, we both sing in the same barbershop chapter.
