<blockquote TYPE=CITE>Well guys...ok... lets take a twist on this as long
as everyone seems so into it. Lets also include some expert at using the
Peterson tuner. Same audience aproval ratings and the rest of our appraisal
criteral to apply. I am sure that would provide us with just as interesting
information relating to whether the SAT is truly better then the Peterson.
. Better yet... YEA !! lets do a tune off between the Peterson, SAT,
Tunelab, RCT, and Verituner. To keep it fair and neutral we can employ
30 professors of music (piano as main instrument) from accross the country
and tell them all straight out that they are judging the best machine tuning.
It oughta be a very enlightning affair.

I, for one have a strong opinion
regarding aural or ETD-assisted tuning: Aural tuning is the way to tune
a piano, and an ETD can be a very useful tool. Also, I would love to WATCH
such a tune-off! Terry Farrell <span id=__#Ath#SignaturePos__></span>

Jim and everybody,
<p>Well, I for one would be most interested in this. And I believe
it would indeed be educational for those on the list who hold strong opinions
on the superiority or either aural or ETD-assisted tuning. I am well
aware of the tune-offs between Dr. <font face="Wingdings">J</font><font face="Times New Roman,Times">
Coleman and Virgil Smith and the outcomes, although unfortunately I was
not present for them.</font>
<p><font face="Times New Roman,Times">But under no condition would this
David (me) take on one of those Goliaths! I will let that up to one
of the rest of you. :-)</font>

is to happen at all. They are the ones who would make any final decisions
as to this happening at a Convention.</blockquote>
