Tuning

[Andrew and Rebeca Anderson]

David,
The latest piano specific ETDs are designed to tune by the same rules 
we do.  You can customize how they work to fit your style.  They 
never have bad days and sure take the guesswork out of large pitch 
corrections.  On pianos I love I spend a lot more time listening.  I 
do plan to pass the RPT exam and my ETD has testing functions built 
into it that enable me to practice.
