On Pitch Raising: --or-- Why I have to go over it more than once and therefore it costs more money. I'm in a rural area, too, but I use the example of tightening lines between clothes poles. I say that if you pull the first line up where you want it, then pull the second up, the first will have dropped. Pull up a third and both the others will be lower. Instead of trying to even out only 4 or 6 lines, imagine well over 200 strings playing that game. Therefore I have to pull ALL of them up a first time just to get them in the neighborhood - _then_ maybe I can tune. ------- On Ear plugs. --or-- How can you hear with those things in? How can an airline pilot see wearing darkglasses? Both darkglasses and earplugs are designed to avoid sensory overload. The sharp blows necessary are like strobe lights or flashbulbs going off in front of your face, it doesn't take too many before you can't see at all.
