H'mm,
I remember this when I was first learning to tune aurally.  My wife's grand
backed up to a window.  I could see strings sharpen up together.  I can
still see wound strings come into phase by just watching them.  The little
ones are harder for my eyes.  And I do use an ETD but don't spend any time
watching it when putting unisons together so I get to see this every time I
tune a piano in a well-lit environment, not too often in south Texas where
dark is associated with -cool-. :-)

I for one found it very interesting.   A few years ago I I saw string
shadows during tuning for the first time.  I was amazed at the amount of
deflection of the tenor strings.  For some reason, it is not apparent at all
if you only watch the strings.

I was really hoping someone would find the shadow thing interesting, which
is what the post was about, rather than the obvious direct sunlight thing.
