It happened again. Today, for the third time in the last two years, I tuned a part time tuner's piano for him. I was working at one of my colleges, and ran into the guy. I hadn't seen him for a while, and we got to talking. He asked me if I'd come over and see if I could tell him why his piano was making these awful noises. I did - flat soundboard, no bearing, hard worn out hammers making it sound even worse. I brushed the hammers up a little and made it sound somewhat less bad. While I was there, he asked if I would go ahead and tune it (great). Now it sounds less bad and in better tune than it was yesterday. I'm not sure I get it. Maybe if I call someone to come tune my piano, I'll figure it out. Weird, but basically harmless. Errata: On this day, exactly 14 years from now, the date will reflect the ratio between the circumference of a circle and it's enclosed area (if you ignore the century). Watch for it. Ron N
