I've tuned several pianos = now on the information Ed Foote passed out in his class--Tuning To Taste by = Owen Jorgenson--I think that's right. So far I've been following the = directions quite literally and coming up with a tuning that is similar to Kirnberger = (Prinz). It's getting comfortable so I plan to branch out and, using the same = directions, shift towards the Vallotti-Young style. I'm finding these instructions = to render the flexibility to do this and come up with a very nice sounding piano. = For me, this is really new and exciting stuff!  I spoke with a minister = about HT's who leads a guitar group in worship services. He's very interested in = trying it. Others have expressed an interest in it including a = retailer.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also, I followed Bill Bremmer's = instructions for EBVT. The test piano was a small grand I've just restrung,etc. It sounds = better than the ET I had initially tuned it to. There is a chapter meeting at = my shop this week end, and we'll scrutinize the tuning. Several of the members = are accomplished musicians. I'm anxious to hear their reactions. I must say = it takes me awhile to get the temperaments set (aural tuning only).  = The EBVT took me about an hour, but the others take me about 15-20 minutes. The = practice is helping. All in all, thanks to all who have contributed and = encouraged me and others to try. It's very enjoyable!</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Paul Chick</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
