FAN (was: clothing)

[Benny L. Tucker]

    Actually, You'd be surprised at what you can learn to ignore while
tuning. For instance, most of us tuners at the plant can tune darn good
unisons with a fan blowing, an air hose blowing a piano off right behind
you, a shop vac cleaning the sawdust out of another one, another tuner in
either or both booths beside you "not soundproof", and still manage to carry
on a conversation with another tuner all at the same time.
    I guess it's just what you get used to!!
