Favorite things come in threes, right? 1. This morning, I tuned my favorite PSO on campus. 42" console which could be the poster child for flagpoling tuning pins. (Some bass pins are showing ¼" of thread above the plate) Driving pins not advised because then all the strings would walk up over the coils. Located in a basement coffee shop w/entertainment area (stage/dance floor). Humidity control non-existant and pitch regularly varies between 435/444... today it was 433.1 Hz. 2. Cleaning person was vacuuming when I got there. No big deal with laptop based RCT and microphone dropped down into case. When the vacuuming was finished, I was asked if I wanted all the light turned off. Hmmm, let me see... 6AM/interior basement room... "Nah, leave them on, it's a little easier to see what I'm doing. Thanks" 3. As I'm in the top octave of the fine tuning, the grill person comes in to get the place ready to open. On comes the MUZAK, right above my head(of course). Had to vent. Now, everybody back away from the water cooler, nice and slow... Conrad
