They saw me = using an ancient Seiko quartz<BR>> chromatic tuner and said: "You're = cheating using that thing" Well I suppose<BR>> in a way I was - they still abide by = the tuning fork method of laying the<BR>> bearings. But that's all I use = the tuner for - just laying the bearings.<BR>> Even then I'm checking = M3,M4, M5s and as soon as I'm out of the bearing area<BR>> I turn the darn thing = off. Save the batteries. The ear is by far the better<BR>> judge of tuning = IMHO than any electronic tuning device - particularly at<BR>> both ends of = the keyboard.<BR>> Regards on a dusky evening listening to the peal of = the Village church opf<BR>> St.Mary...<BR>> Michael G (UK)<BR>> = <BR>> <BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> = pianotech list info: </FONT><A = href="https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives"><FONT face=Arial size=2>https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives</FONT></A><BR><FON= T face=Arial size=2>> </FONT></BODY></HTML>
