And i never used an EDT aural tuning exclusively, not bad for someone with 3-4 years experience? as the English say "wacha reckon bout it"...<BR>  <BR> I ignored your private email because you said nothing worth replieing to, ive got a few private conversations going with a few techs from this list, so clearly not EVERYONE is annoyed with me. Besides, i must say im not too happy with people like Matty boy therr either.<BR>  <BR> I'm trying to learn whatever I can fron this list, and perhaps give my own imput, might not be much but hey, and if someone tried to get under my skin i shall say something to them,  im sorry if i was rude, and i do bring my appologies to everyone on this list who was offended.<BR>  <BR> now tell me bit about yourself bob, what sort of background do you have with tuning?<BR>  <BR> Alicia<BR><BR><BR> <HR> <BR> From: RptBob1@aol.com<BR>Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2008 08:59:12 -0400<BR>Subject: Fwd: txt msg (was:Wives tales ... violin tuning<BR>To: pianotech@ptg.org<BR><BR><BR> <META content="Microsoft SafeHTML" name=Generator><FONT id=EC_role_document face=Arial color=#000000 size=2> <DIV> <DIV>In a message dated 7/3/2008 8:27:08 A.M.
