I'm still with bifocals, but already have extreme difficulty with grand damper work, among other things, where you are trying to see above you at mid-distance. I gave up and had the doctor make me a pair of glasses that focus at arm's length. He called them computer monitor glasses, and I use them for that too. I don't like having two pairs of glasses, but I like being able to see. I love not having to position my head just so in order to focus. I also use the special glasses for working on trapwork and Dampp-Chasers under grands, and I'm sure there is much more. Make a relatively hard-shell compartment for your tuner. I have broken a device or three by compressing them inside my tool case.

I left my tuning fork somewhere, and have found that A-440 in itself does not really indicate if a pitch raise is necessary. I’d like to have something with a slide switch instead of a push button. > Thanks for any ideas. > Les bartlett -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
