Plains last week. I was extremely sat=

all week and
it hadn't been tuned in a
week). </SPAN>Tonight after church the pia=
nist mentioned to me how much better i=
t sounded, but <SPAN

"funny".

size=2>Initially, I didn't hear the problem... (I think because =
the
strings are definately in tune and I was listening for beats). But =
after a
few moments I detected what she is talking about. When =
you first
hit the key, it quickly goes "eee-ahhh". Every other note just =
says "ahh"
(yeah, I know this sounds stupid, but I can't think of any other way to =
describe
it). It happens very quickly and is almost undetectable, but SHE =
noticed
it, so it is now important to me. It's like the note has two =
syllables
instead of just one pure syllable.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=656321001-08122003><FONT face=Arial size=2>It =
quickly gets to
the ahhh... and there are no further beats in the tone when played by =
itself or
when checking octaves so I don't think it's what we would normally call =
a false
beat. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
