Ever have a good dream during your sleep while tuning a piano? This afternoon I was dreaming that I was reaching for an oar (tuned on a cruise ship in the morning) - just then my cell phone rang - and I nearly dropped my tuning lever because it didn't feel like an oar suddenly. I don't think I ever stopped tuning. Anyone ever do something similar. Or am I the only one? Ralf Bechendorfer </BLOCKQUOTE> Tuning is one of the most boring things we do. I haven't actually fallen off the bench, but I can close my eyes, and sort of go into automatic pilot on a grand. Uprights are a little more difficult, keeping my arm up. But a little nap in the afternoon is refreshing. Wim </HTML>
