<HTML>Hi list, I was merely curious as whether (some) strictly aural tuners,were not interested in visual tuners/ along with aural skills,as to maybe preserve the art of the tuning fork and ear only.My wording may have been confusing, but I can asure you I have the utmost respect for all GOOD tuners,whether strictly aural,or aural/visual.I also did not mean to imply that ANYONE was being dis-respectful toward another.I value the friendship and advice from this list,and wish all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
