Hi,=20

I'm new to tuning too and I don't have a tuning fork yet, I'd like to =
try the vacuum cleaner tuning first.
a few questions :=20
1/ I suppose all vacuum cleaners are not tuned on the same pitch. Is =
there a Vacuum Cleaner tone Reference List (VCTRL) available somewhere =
on the net ? Does this also word with kitchen vacuum ?
2/ I suppose the pitch depends on the temperature... Should I wait for =
my Vacuum cleaner to stabilise ? How long ?
3/ I'm in europe and we are supplied in 220V 50Hz. Do you think this can =
make a difference in pitch for the same model of vacuum cleaner between =
Europe and US ?
4/ If for any reason I had to use a supplemental power supply cable... =
Is there a risk that it infuences my reference pitch ? Should I pay =
attention to this ?
5/ May I use the same vacuum cleaner for the tone reference and to clean =
the piano ?

Thank you for you answers,=20

Philippe

different pitch on the low setting. Does anyone here own an Oreck? =20

Actually, there are two tones, an A and an F#.  At least in Chicago,  =

the case, and in fact, the F# seems a bit louder than the A.   =
