Tuning Oral

I have a customer who claims that the fillings in his back molars are tuned
exactly to pick up 440hz, so he claims to be able to tell when A4 is in tune
by using his teeth! Oral tuning!

Grin... yes both the subject matter you bring up have been discussed. It has
been agreed that Oral tunings are probably not possible, and would be
extremely
entertaining to witness.  Aural tunings have also been discussed at length.
