Well some of them do anyway. And they wanted to put me in one of those places. Can you imagine me listening to another tuner and keeping my mouth shut? Kristin, try the ear plugs. And I mean now! They will filter out extraneous noises and will preserve your hearing. If OSHA learned about how loud pianos can be during tuning they would pass a federal law prohibiting tuners from tuning without safety equipment. I have measured one Yamaha C-3 at 112 dB in the treble while tuning. Convinced me! Get the plugs and save your hearing. Newton (deef old gimp)
