I thought that I had had just about everything happen to me while tuning that I could imagine - "You don't mind if I run the vaccuum?" Humming what the customer perceived to be correct pitch in my ear, and the likes. But, two days ago I was tuning a new YC. After doing about 3+ octaves, the customer came in the room with her husband and said that they had decided that they wanted the piano against a different wall - some 20 feet from its location at the time. Well, it was their piano so I couldn't exactly stop them. Yes, they did move the piano and then said "Hope that didn't raise havoc with the last 1/2 hour of work that you have done." I had to do it all over again , of course, but next time I do it for them I'm going to be sure that the instrument is where they want it to STAY before I even open the lid. John R.
