<BR>"P.S.Want to see some real fireworks? Watch this.
<BR>EQUAL TEMPERMENT IS THE ONLY WAY TO TUNE A PIANO.ALL OTHER METHODS SHOULD BE

<BR>
<BR>According to the local tooner who bought a music store, complete with
<BR>Baldwin dealership that he has since lost, "a string is either in tune or
<BR>not in tune." He uses a guitar tuner to make every "A" and "A", every "C" a
<BR>"C" etcetera. Now THAT is equal temperment: every interval except the 2:1
<BR>sounds equally puky!

<BR>LOL. I know this kind of ignorance and bigotry, the two seem to go hand in hand, are out there. I pretty much expect it for that matter. What I have found to be nearly 100% consistent is that anyone who says or does these kinds of things ALWAYS produces a piano tuned in Reverse Well. Not only is it not equal, every single chord played sounds completely *ass backwards* (a term my venerable dad often used).

<BR>As Johnny Carson used to say, "Believe it or STUFF it".
