Merciful heavens!
I don't know what it is, either.  Music teachers are sometimes the worst.  I
have one teacher client who is a year overdue on her tunings.   She has a
Steinway B, Yamaha P22, and a Story&Clark piece of furniture.  She is
talented, and she can appreciate an in-tune piano.  But I can't figure out
why she doesn't have her pianos tuned every six months.  They always sounds
awful when I get there.

Maybe it's because I'm in the piano tuning business.  But I just can't stand
playing a piano that is much out of tune.
