"Put a plug in it"

[Peter Lamos]

I have a set of "musician's earplugs" (compliments of the US Gov. and
all those paying SE tax) from when I was in a military band.  I found at
first I had to pull them out a little to tune the top octave, but with a
little time I learned to tune that portion of the piano with them in as
well.  Now, I wouldn't tune a piano without them.  They filter the
frequencies more evenly than foam.  The best thing about them is the
customers asking me why I'm wearing hearing aids.

I did some sound level measurements on several pianos in my shop this
week. The DB meter was held at about the distance my ear would be from
the strings and soundboard. Using solid rather strong blows I measured
sound levels well over 100 dbs on both grands and uprights.
