This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List, I'm practicing setting pitch with a tuning fork (for the RPT exam, = someday), and I'm finding it hard to hear the beats between F2 and the = fork. I'm also struggling to hold the fork, play the note, and turn the = pin. What works for you? For one thing, if I play F2 with my left hand, and hold the fork to my = right ear, it's really hard to hear beats (I know I can adjust F2 as = needed for a comfortable beat speed). I found if I hold the fork over = my left ear, so that it's between my ear and the piano, the beats are = clearer. (Is it because the wave interference happens in the air, not = in my head? Sarah?) Is there a difference in the beats when the fork is in the air, vs. on = the stretcher (or the keybed; I've also tried dangling it from two = fingers, pressing on the underside of the keybed, while playing F2 with = my thumb -- less than satisfactory)? Maybe it's time to try the rubber = tubing on the end, and holding it in my teeth... --Cy Shuster-- Bluefield, WV ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
