I did not experiment any shock but had a terrible pain in the neck after a few pianos (but a nice smile indeed). Now that my dog comes with me he can hold the VT 100 to no avail so the problem is solved. In case of loss of batteries I use the dog ultra tone whistle that is just tuned to the 48th partial of A440 I tried to train the dog to give me 440 but no result yet. To say the truth, as I have perfect pitch in fact, there is a little tuning fork hidden somewhere in my head, if one strike my on the head with enough force it rings 440 Hz, so no need to make dangerous operation with a fork. That said, if you want really to look professional, you can have a little wooden plate inserted into your knee by a good surgeon (to avoid the 'tuner's syndrome" that is having one knee bigger than the other because of the fork hits), I had a friend who lost all his teeth because he open too much bottles of beer with them and a good dentist installed him a metal plate (untuned) to replace the teeth, but also to allow him to open more bottles. I have always been amazed by such miracle and it looked to me like a must in professional bottle of beer opener attitude. So out of having a tuning hammer and a fork tattoo I consider the plate a must in our profession. Well it is probably too early to go to bed, I have to stop the TV probably, may be that should help. Best regards.

But I got scared when my aunt who is dentist told me this could be dangerous for my teeth some day. Maybe she was just kidding, but since then I used this technique, and it works, at least for me..
