about electronic tuning devices, I am amazed at the amount of reference there
is to the later. Are there still people being taught aural tuning, or have those
days gone? I find the ear to be the best way to judge what is required from a
tuning of a particular piano. I may be wrong, however using an ETD seems to me
to be similar to playing a digital keyboard, you get what they give you. Am I
way off the beam, or just a little too old to judge?</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
