Did you ever hear this one?

[Dean May]

I hear it frequently. 

 

I also hear the converse. People will call to complain about a buzz or click
that they swear wasn't there before I tuned it. I think what is happening is
that they just listen closer when they play it after tuning. That and often
they haven't played it for several months before it was tuned so they really
have no idea what it was doing before I tuned it.

I have at least 2 or 3 customers who could swear that the touch improves
after a good tuning, even though I did absolutely no mechanical work - -just
a good tuning. Anybody out there ever hear this from a customer?

Is it purely psychological or are there ghosts and goblins at work?
