He = used to tell people, to wait 24 hours, before they played it, after he tuned. I = asked him , why, and he said, he didn't know, why, but they had told him that = when he was taught. He was taught in UK, possibly late teens, early = 1920's.</DIV> <DIV>This is the first time since then, I have heard the 24 hour rule = mentioned. What is the 24 hour rule?</DIV> <DIV>Thank you,</DIV> <DIV>Regards,</DIV> <DIV>John M.
