<p><br>COME ON NOW !!!.... I asked and got told about the Young / Valoti....
and thats like wayyyy more extreme then this Broadwoods best # 5. That
particular BB was actually a good pass for an ET. The responses I got to
it immediately made me think more about Baldwins experiments with the slightly
out of tune unisions more then anything else. And that because of the very
different kinds of responses I got from players about the Y/V.

<br>I started this thread not so much as a re-opening of the HT-ET discussion,
<br>but the recommendation for those willing techs to try out modern well

in the

in common

to try
<br>something new......

<p><br>Hmmm... well maybe what we all should do is discuss some protocol
for checking folks responses that clearly eliminates any chance of influence
from us, and rules out any other chance of influencing the objectivity
of pianists. And something that can tell us more then that pianists apparently
like something other then a clinically perfect ET..... and I am not saying
that we have even established that much when it comes down to it.
<p>Still.. this boat is sailing some rather enjoyable seas... so I see
no reason to hop off yet.
