<html> Terry- Before losing an original accu-fork and SAT II on a street corner last month, I would use them to set pitch or measure subtle drift, then proceed aurally.  Since, lately, I have taken to ingesting tea & scone while tuning, I presume I qualify as an aural / oral tuner.   For significant pitch changes, I switch over to using my ears.   Having suffered the afore mentioned lose, this survey is of practical interest to me, as I would still like to have an ETD for analytic purposes.  I find the results enlightening.  Thanks - David Skolnik New York, NY At 09:43 AM 12/21/2001 -0800, you wrote: <blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>hi piano-tekkers, I'd like to take a poll to determine what percentage of techs on this list (i wonder how many ARE subscribed??) use ETDs, or are strickly aural; I will assume that ETD users use aural skills in conjuntion with their ETDs, perhaps for tuning unisons and doing various tests. Also, those who DO use ETDs, I'd be curious to know what type is used, such as SAT, RTC, etc. thanks!
