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.</div><div><br></div><div>Make a relatively hard-shell compartment for your tuner.

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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">Thanks for any ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></font></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; "><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; ">Les bartlett<o:p></o:p></span></font></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
