no fan of overhead fans while tuning

[John Ross]

It would be very important to inform the customer of the phenomena, so that they would know the piano will sound different, fan off/on.
Possibly someone mentioned this, and I missed it.
I find I am missing a lot lately. :-(

  Phil:

  Maybe the point was that the oscillation of the blades creates a beat which makes it hard to tune. Having done your best possible job tuning the piano, which is what you're being paid to do professionally, you might inform the client that the fan will make the piano sound odd. Whether they care is not your business; your tuning is your business.

    I suppose that's possible Joe, but like Terry, 
    I've become immune to fans. 

    If it's a quality piano(don't go there..it's 
    been a loong day) in a quality home, fans go 
    off. If it's the bargain-basement PSO that we 
    all know, and it hasn't been tuned in xx(x) 
    years, a fan isn't going to make any difference, 
    in my opinion..and probably the opinion of 
    others..I'm just not bashful in saying so.
