<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> List,   <blockquote TYPE=CITE>I'm hoping that someone like Ron Overs will let me tune his piano in a big concert hall where the artist has the choice of which instrument to use.  Ron already proved his piano's superior properties, presumably in ET.  So how about the EBVT with Tempered Octaves?  I'd be willing to fly to Sydney to prove that it can and will work. Should Ron take the chance or would he be a fool to do so?  Let's hear the opinions.  My guess is that for every encouraging one, there will be at least 3 "Don't do it, don't let him make a fool of you" opinions.  Go ahead, express your opinion, I have very thick skin about this and am quite secure in my beliefs.

As far as Ron O and a job in Sydney is concerned, heck if you would fly all the way to Australia just to demonstrate your EBVT then I would encourage Ron to set up the best possible "test" for the affair. It would be great to hear what the reactions to such an event would be. Recent reading however points in the direction of a hands down preference by musicians most, and nearly all unschooled ears for mild non ET variants of well or EB tunings. So I suppose the majority would already be on your side without having any idea about why. Still,... it would be a fun project. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
