[pianotech] facial quirks

[Piano Boutique]

Susan,

When I worked in a where house, with other tuners, they would always be cussing and swearing at their pianos.   I would always smile and say,  Come on darling, help me now sweet heart.   I guess I just thought I could get better results by relaxing and coaxing the piano.

  I'm glad I don't clench my teeth. I can tell I've been at it too long 
  when I find myself talking out loud to the note. "Come on, dear heart, you can do 
  better than that ..." (the piano, not me ...) 

  sssssssssssssssnnn

    I tend to clench my jaw and bite down on my teeth. I also hold my breath as I get close

      Okay... 


      Today, while tuning a piano, I was coming up on pitch on a particular note and I needed to tweak it just a smidgen higher. Along with my attempt at barely moving the tuning pin in the pinblock, I found myself trying to coax the pitch up by raising my eyebrows.  >:-)  Then I noticed I've been doing that a lot... <:-/


      Anyone else notice unusual facial or physical traits like this, or am I unique in my facial tuning?  >:-)
