SAT use

[Farrell]

OK, you got me. Good point. But might the deaf person have some developed ability to feel the vibrations of the note - at least good enough to get it near (and on the right partial)? Maybe? Like Beethoven did near the end of his life - he would put his ear to the piano lid so that he could hear/feel the music. Maybe not.

Now a deaf tuner might have some good luck with a Verituner. The Verituner displays all the partials being detected. The tuner could simply look to see where the fundamental frequency is. I think. Maybe. It would require some close examination, but I suspect there would be a good way to go about it. Or perhaps it would be an insurmountable problem.

Hey, isn't that what rebuilding is for?
