Moxie I can spell, but I apologize for misspelling Eidetic....oops. It means the ability to precisely recall something one has seen. Many a time a customer smacked a note repeatedly and stated, that note's flat!" I too lacked the moxie to ask "...compared to what?" As a string player I am also aware that we as a group tend to get sharper and sharper the higher we go, fudging those thirds and sevenths unconsciously. Tuning for violinists is usually my greatest challenge, because they don't understand why a piano can't be tuned to match these extreme octave stretches, or match the perfect fifths we fiddlists tune. sigh... Sometimes I suspect there is subconscious need to demonstrate their extraordinary ear, and test your willingness to comply. It usually goes away after the first successful manipulation. "This is only a test". just some thoughts... Steve
