This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hello all, Mind you, I've quite often had the situation where my ETD is displaying = two different readings up in the last octave. I will tune a string and = as soon as I move my arm away to move the mute the display starts moving = towards the flat side. When I move my arm back again the pitch rises = back to it's original position. The ETD is obviously reading a direct = sound on the one hand and reading a reflected sound on the other. Now = this begs the question; do our ears pick up the direct sound or the = reflected sound? This might account for some customers saying that our = tuning in the high treble is flat when they in fact are listening to the = reflected sound while we as tuners had tuned it to the direct sound.

I've always felt = that it's ridiculous in today's day and age for any hearing loss to = cause poor tuning, between aids and electronic tuners. You also are = answering my question - whether it's the tuner or humidity causing that = drastic of a difference.=20 HEAR HEAR and thx, ilex -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces@ptg.org]On = Behalf Of Joe Garrett Sent: Sunday, October 31, 2004 2:44 PM To: pianotech Subject: Re: Over sharp treble Hey Guys & Gals, Why are you casting dispersions on us olde farts, regarding the = treble tuning, (and some bass!)? Many times, I follow my own tunings and = the treble is higher than were I put it! (YES, I keep records of how I = tune my pianos! AND, I use my trusty SATII, always for the extreme = treble, because I can't tune it as well aurally!) For those who know me, = I have hearing aids. I can hear the frequencies up there, thanks to = those aids. However, aids will give you weird stuff, from time to time. = (Oft-times due to a low battery or a lot of other physical stuff, that I = don't care to discuss, right now.) Humidity changes, GREATLY affect the upper treble. Sometimes, more = than you think it should. Why? Don't have a clue! It just does. Of = course, there are those olde farts, that have a HUGE ego thing going, = regarding their tunings and they refuse to do anything about it. Those = clowns deserve a HUGE SLAP up'side their damned heads!! I've followed = YOUNG tuners that tune WAYYYY too sharp for my taste. And, screwed up = Bass tuning as well, from them. If any of you think that you are not hearing things as well as you'd = like....GET YOUR DAMNED EARS CHECKED!!!!! AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR!!!!!! NO = DAMNED EXCUSES!!!! WE DO MAKE OUR LIVING WITH OUR EARS!!!! GET IT??????? = Joe Garrett, R.P.T. Captain, Tool Police Squares R I ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
