Detuning, the sequel

[Mark Graham]

I forgot to mention that in the middle of the saga of the two Steinway D's
tuned a quarter step apart, I got a message saying the pianos were "too in
tune". Now, is that something to go on the resume or what? I feel like
I've spent my whole career working toward that reaction.

I also have to say that, although I would deny having perfect pitch,
tuning a piano a quarter step flat irritated me to no end. Almost as bad
as hearing a pipe organ get tuned.
