All we can do, as piano tuners, is make the instrument sound muscially as pleasant as it can. And even between two different people, whether they are piano tuners or not, that discription has its flaws, because two people do not hear the same sounds indentical. The bottom line is the only thing we can do is agree on what compromise sounds the best to as many people as possible. Willem Blees, RPT St. Louis
