<DIV>You just don't get it do you! You can not denigrate =
anything that
has 88 keys. There are no piano shaped objects (PSOs). =
They're all
just fine instruments waiting for the master's touch. You CAN, =
however,
bash TSHs (Tuner shaped humans). Since 90% of tuners don't know =
what in
the world they are doing and put some perverse temperament on pianos, =
these
people should be exposed, shamed and run out of business. So in =
the
future, save your harshest comments for the more than 90% who don't =
know how
to set an equal temperament, yet miraculously do a well-temperament
backwards. Not just random small errors, mind you, but a nicely =
crafted
well temperament but backward. </DIV>
