[pianotech] Stretch in tuning

[Leslie Bartlett]

Yep- had you not bugged me about my highs (where the damage has been done to
my hearing) and the lows, of which I never was confident, I would not have
gotten quickly enough to an audiologist. So you might very well have saved
my career.  I take that pretty seriously. You were one of the few tuners
whose work I said to people were "works of art"- so I took your critique
very seriously, and ever will be glad I did.  Compliment indeed!

Thanks, I think. <grin>

 Now retired Avery Todd is to blame for me being in
hearing aids. I did some tunings for him at U of H, and he never liked my
highest and lowest notes.  So, I went to an audiologist, and was very
quickly in hearing aids.  As one loses the tops of the hearing range, their
"stretching" is going to shrink and octaves will lose stretch.
