FAN (was: clothing)

[Farrell]

Sometimes, when it is real hot. I also carry at least one soft towel. Even if I am not dripping with sweat, when I tune I tend to rest my tuning arm on the stretcher. I lay the towel on the stretcher and rest my arm on top of the towel - that way I don't goober up the shiny black finish with smudges.
