<HTML>Hi list,    I have been watching the posts come in concerning this poll,and it seems a lot of people seem intimidated by etd tuners,or etds.I wonder if it is concerning maybe the art being threatened,for we know that a good tuning can be acheived either way,with aural checks.I was a piano major at Berklee College in Boston,in the mid 70's. I was consumed with jazz,and the art of it.I had a friend was thought I was crazy,he said the education was strictly to go out and earn money.After starving for years playing jazz and original music,I went on the road with a national act,making big bucks.After a while I realized that there was room for both.Sometimes I want to tune aurally and consume the day with it,sometimes I want 5 FAC tuning and get home and ride my Harley Davidson. I don't feel I've cheated either customer,as they both end up with a good tuning.I know I'm chasing a rabbit(as my Pastor says),but technology isn't going to stop for any of us,and I'm glad that there are great technicians out there braving the way,for the future up and coming techs, as well as for myself. One post wrote he felt superior over the etd user,I wonder if the cowboy straddling a horse felt the same way,watching the steam locomotive go crusing by? Merry Christmas to all,and isn't life great!
