He is conservatory-trained, outstanding musician with a real interest in tuning, historic temperaments, etc. The piano is an older Steinway O. Anybody servicing that area, please contact me.</div> <div> </div> <div>He just called quite upset that he'd paid for tuning and thinks it sounds all wrong, etc. And this is a man with an excellent ear: I once had an off-sounding bass string which he listened to, cocked his head and said, "You've got a high D# sounding there." (I think the string was F2 or something, so the note he was hearing was NOT in my string's intended set of partials.) Anyway, to make a long story even longer, I did some ghosting and found that, indeed, he was hearing an overtone or false hamonic that was precious close to D#6!</div> <div> </div> <div>By the way, I cautiously asked him if he had like my tunings and was relieved and flattered to hear him use words like "magical", "ecstatic" "perfect" .... well, I don't know about that, but knowing my abilities back in the years I was tuning for him, his new tuner must be ... uh, less than top-notch.</div> <div> </div> <div>Alan Barnard<br/>Salem, MO<br/></div> </body> </html>
