I had a recording studio in L.A., a while back, and occasionally some snooty prima dona would come in, and when it came time to tune up, they would ALWAYS refuse to use a digital tuner, saying, "Oh no, I ALWAYS tune by ear, I never use those things..I don't need to, or I don't need one". ..and guess what?...As a result of these idiots, I coined a phrase, which is true to this day..."You can ALWAYS tell a 'purist'..they're ALWAYS out of tune!"
