Would such a gizmo be available for cell phones for hearing impaired folks? I tune with hearing aids, and do fairly well by them, but am finding cell phones becoming a problem for hearing.... les bartlett www.bartlettpianoservice.com _____ From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Jurgen Goering Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 7:51 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: Another Tough Tuning Environment Don, I can imagine the soundscape setting up for NAMM was even worse than your mp3 sounded, although that was very "interesting". I met a german tech who spent one night tuning about 10 pianos for the opening of the Frankfurt Musikmesse. Same scenario. He is an aural tuner, and a bright one. He had a little contact microphone which he placed on the soundboard, then ran it through a tiny amp the size of an iPod, and to earphones from there. It allowed him to tune aurally in an environment where an ETD is usually a must. I was thinking of bringing these units onto the market, but up to now it has just remained one of many projects on the back burner...
