<DIV></DIV><BR>Don,<BR>I can imagine the soundscape setting up for NAMM was even
worse than your mp3 sounded, although that was very "interesting".<BR><BR>I met
a german tech who spent one night tuning about 10 pianos for the opening of the
Frankfurt Musikmesse. Same scenario. He is an aural tuner, and a bright one. He
had a little contact microphone which he placed on the soundboard, then ran it
through a tiny amp the size of an iPod, and to earphones from there. It allowed
him to tune aurally in an environment where an ETD is usually a must.<BR>I was
thinking of bringing these units onto the market, but up to now it has just
remained one of many projects on the back burner...<BR><BR><?smaller>Jurgen
