On the few occasions when the customer expresses disappointment at hearing a piano in tune, and skepticism at the ability of the tuner, a look of condolence comes over my face and I say, "Oh, dear. It sounds like you have at least partially impaired your abilitiy to hear standard pitch. This is the result of listening to a seriously out-of-tune piano for many years. Fortunately, this is reversible, but you will have to let your ear re-adapt to the new sound, and keep your piano in tune." For skeptics, I ask them to check with their piano teacher or church organist. Works like a charm. Paul S. Larudee, RPT Richmond, CA
