Hi John,

I've been using the 20db earplugs from Pianotek for quite a while now. They
are great for situations such as you described you were in yesterday and
they do protect the ears from a test blow. I find they actually enhance what
I NEED to hear, blocking some of the extraneous garbage I've trained myself
to ignore after 38 years of aural tuning. Occasionaly I'll have a
particularly quiet piano and I can pull them out slightly so they are not
quite as tight but still block the loud stuff, making it easier to hear the
quiet pianos. Just an alternative thought.

Mike
