spinet in the bass) last week.  The gardeners were there the entire time.  T=
he=20
first half of the tuning, had the industrial strength lawnmower going, the s=
econd=20
half of the tuning featured dueling leaf blowers--one for the back yard, and=

one for the front yard.  The pitch on one of them was slightly south of G#4.
