<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Actually I have had to opportunity to tune for Mr. Corea a number of times over the past 20 years. At Molde Int Jazz Festival, Natt Jazz in Bergen, and a couple non festival appearances here in town. He is probably one of the easiest of big name stars to tune for that I have had to attempt to please, and I have seen most of the jazz greats come through through the years. He is knows way more then the average pianist about our side of the buisness, too the point of understanding how volitile a tuning really is. He has an awful lot of respect for profesional pianotechs. No doubt you have to make sure you do a good job to please him, but hey....thats what they pay us the big bucks for aint it. I would be suprised if he would be against trying EBVT, as long as he knew ahead of time what was going on. Course if you tried pulling the wool over his eyes, I doubt that he would appreciate it much...:) Billbrpt@AOL.COM wrote: <blockquote TYPE=CITE>Chick sounds like one artist who would blow his stack if I tuned the EBVT. Although I consider it to be perfectly compatible with all fixed pitch instruments such as the Vibraphone, this is one of the artists who sounds like he knows what a real ET tuning is and will kill if he doesn't get it. He's come a long way since I saw him in the little dive in Hermosa Beach California called The Lighthouse back in the late '60's where he took it upon himself to correct tuning flaws in the piano while on stage.  This is one job I wouldn't take.  I prefer the smiles and the "Thank you so much" 's to the hell I might possibly catch if my idea for tuning the piano were misunderstood.
