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...:) </BLOCKQUOTE> It's not that I am out to deceive anyone as your phrase, "pulling the wool over his eyes" implies although I understand that some people have perceived it that way.  I have not, as a matter of fact tuned *any* piano for any reason in ET for 12 years now (except for PTG Exam "Master" Tuning).  I have used the EBVT as my default tuning for nearly 10 years.  I know Chick's music would sound great in the EBVT because I tuned it on a piano at a Convention once and invited Kent Swafford to play it.  He sat down and gave a stunning rendition of some of Chick's music. While most people seem to think they need to give a whole big spiel and explanation with an offer to tune the piano "back" if the customer is not satisfied, I hardly ever talk about what I do any more at all.  I just do it.  I don't think I'll be having the opportunity to tune for this particular artist any time soon, though so it's not anything I'll have to ponder.
