To the speedsters I would have to ask:</DIV> <DIV>    What, like this is the Indianapolis 500 here?  Hey, if I can do a pitch raise and fine tuning that's = really stable plus some voicing in under an hour and 45 minutes then I'm = happy. I suppose I could be quicker, and I have been really quick, WHEN I HAVE = TO BE,,,,but I'd rather do a really good job. That's probably one of the = reasons why people want only me to do their tunings.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Kevin E.
