A serious question here; I've got three daughters and a son who have
learned to do quite a bit of piano work. The girls all love to do
tedious shop work but HATE to tune. The boy loves to tune but doesn't
like shop work all that much. I just thought it was their personalities
until I started having students work here at BYU. Seems the same
applies. I don't want to come across as sexist in any way, but I want to
understand why. All the female students seem to excel more at the shop
skills, but seem to dislike tuning. It seems harder for them than the
guys. They seem to be less aggressive and more perfectionists and can
hardly stand it if they don't get it right NOW. There are other teachers
besides me so I don't think my teaching style is to be blamed. I guess
the real question is, do women (physically, mentally...) have a harder
time learning to tune?? I really want to encourage more women to take up
the trade. (Help!)

Hey Barbara-

It's your female partner in crime..

I certainly feel that I have an advantage being a female tuner

(And I am the ony female in my Chapter here in Syracuse- *and* the
youngest...)

So when I don't get my way I start crying and the guys give in.

They can't help it.
