I have pianos that sit under a ceiling fan.  Many years ago, after =
attempting to tune maybe two notes on one of them during the summer, I =
realized it was creating some form of interference "wave" and turned the =
the darn thing off.   Since then, I've had to do that perhaps once or =
twice a year (though the interference pales in comparison to the =
siren-like screeches emitted by cockatoos and the like...my ears are =
still numb from one a few days ago.  It was like having an ice pick =
jammed into my ears....)

  I once had a piano teacher who heard a "wah wah" in freshly tuned =
unisons that were dead on.  When I turned her ceiling fan off the "wah =
wah" disappeared!
  Joy!

    Wim:

    "As long as I hear a wah wah, I know my piano is in tune."

    That's awfully reassuring.  My customers sometimes make "wah wah" =
noises after I finish tuning their pianos, and to this point I wondered =
if it signified some form of complaint.  But now I know it's merely an =
emotional expression inspired by the piano being in tune.

    Thanks!
