As Pogo would say, "Oog"

Me either, unless it's the one in my living room.  ;-]  
I just can't seem to find time (much to my wife's dismay).

    Biggest mystery in the piano business: How can so many talented people--who've spent years and years practicing the piano--have such lousy ears? Especially some music and piano teachers I have met, and a couple of conservatory-trained classicists.

  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.
