Years ago I was floor tuning in a music store, the piano show room was a
seperate room from the rest of the store connected by a doorway in front and
the service area in back. As I was tuning I heard someone whistling the note
I was tuning, almost the note I was tuning, just a little flat, I finished
that one and moved to the next and he moved up with me again a shade off. He
was far enough away that it didn't throw me off it was just quite noticable
to me. This continued for about 20 minutes before he left, I asked the owner
after he left if he had noticed the difference, no he hadn't and he was
surprised that I had!!
