Sit back down, Wim (and any one else who objects),<div><br></div><div>In case you hadn't noticed, Zeno simply copied and pasted an earlier "conversation" from Joe Garrett in the rescaling thread, substituting in the music theory details. I believe he was trying to make a point to Mr. Garrett (and any others with a penchant for condescension) that all of us are short on knowledge somewhere; that all of us can learn from each other about something, and we probably don't even have to stray from piano technology to do that.</div>

Are you implying that just because I forgot my music theory from 45 years ago in college, I shouldn't be a piano tuner?

<div style="font-family:arial,helvetica;color:black;font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:'Tw Cen MT';font-size:medium"><pre>I find it unconscionable(?) that this question keeps surfacing! Doesn't
anyone pay attention?? We have the ability to LOOK up music theory for the greatest
overall understanding of music, on an individual basis! And yet, none of you
techno-geeks seem willing to put forth the EFFORT to learn how to do this!
What is that???? To assume that every theoretical question of a specific historical era
is exactly the same is just down-right STUPID! I'm sorry and I apologize
for being so sarcastic, but this is one of those subjects that really
pushes ALL of my buttons! PLEASE, learn the theory or DO NOT
TUNE???!! You're not up to the task, imho.
