Up to this day, purely measurement based tuning of pianos was no viable option on the concert stage. But the rise of the machines seems to be unstoppable.
 A very interesting read, check it out. |

I doubt anyone will loose business over this, the mechanics of piano tuning is most likely an art in it self. We might get better sounding pianos though. Nice find!

A very interesting read, check it out. People who tune instruments professionally are generally also people the who repair them. I suspect that the percentage of musicians who play large instruments like pianos and organs will remain small simply because they aren't mechanics. |

I wonder if electronic keyboards will eventually feature choices of stretch profile (tunings) to best match the key you're playing in or just preference.
