I know the feeling, I went to tune a piano the other
day which was absolutely dreadful, I was just
wondering what on earth had happened to it when I
glanced round and spotted a tuning hammer on a
bookcase nearby.  It appears the customer had been
trying to tune his own piano.  I wonder if he attempts
his own dental work rather than go to the dentist!
