>Dick, > I once heard of a someone who had to tune a piano on a "gymatorium" >stage while a gym class was going on. He used a stethoscope! Of course, >this was in the "good ol'days" prior to SAT's! <G> Seems like in order to keep your hands free for tuning, you'd have to use the ones the gynecologist uses ... the one where the "patient" end sticks out of a rod which is attached to a thing that fits over your head. You could then press it against the plate or something with your head while you were tuning! So, let's see. In a situation like you describe, we could take an SAT with that magnetic pickup thingy, and then for the "aural" check whip out the fetoscope. I bet the onlookers would be REALLY impressed!
