Dear List, Was tuning a console piano once....had the most incredible time trying to just get a decent temperament much less get on to the rest of the piano. Tried moving my head about this way and that to try to get a clearer sound when I noticed a ceiling fan a ways away in the hallway.........hhmm! Wondered if turning the fan off might not change this situation a bit and.....VIOLA! Now this lil' monster had only the usual amount of false beats and I got on with my day. So now I always ask my customers to have all of the fans removed before I get there....just kiddin'! That little lesson has always stuck with me tho.....
