The casino will never change the overhead music being piped in as it is supposed to promote gambling. It's the slot machines that drive me nuts always announcing their musical thirds or shouting "wheel of fortune". The crowd noise helps me tune out the slot floor so I can zero in on my work and I employ the EDT in these situations. I do the best I can and never get complaints. The worst account I have is a DC6 in a glass and marble hotel lobby with a giant water display splashing away. Pure torture. Maybe I'll give the headphones a try</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>David Chadwick</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Las Vegas</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=richard.ucci@att.net href="mailto:richard.ucci@att.net">richard.ucci@att.net</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech List</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Tuesday, February 19, 2008 6:13 AM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: casino tunings</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV></DIV>Just got an email forwarded to me from tech. services at the casino saying the piano was great after tuning with the headphones.
