The problem is the terminology that the client is using. = I've found that if I go at it from this angle, it proves out that the = client didn't like the sound of the note. (Probably, before I tuned it!) = Because of this, they immediately go to that note to see if I made it = better w/tuning, (which I probably didn't.<G>) When this occurs, I tell = the client to give me a minute and I'll try and improve the note. At = which point, I VOICE the offending note. Most of the time the client = returns, plays the note and says it's much better! Go figger!<G>=20 Of course there are those that have, what I call extreme pitch = recognition. These clients are usually, (but not exclusive to), = violinists and other assorted Professional musician types. This = situation is difficult to get around and oft-times requires an Historic = Temperament to satisfy them. (Or at least to placate them, somewhat.<G>) I have known many, who have extreme pitch recognition and not one of = them can sing A=3D440 within 5 cents! (Or 10cents for that matter!) = Therefore, I maintain my original statement: IF someone had "perfect = pitch" they could not stand to listen to the piano, because it is the = most "out of tune" instrument! I also maintain that, J.S. Bach would go = off, screaming, in a rubber room, if he heard his works being played on = a modern piano! Especially, if it was tuned in an Equal Temperament![G] Best Regards, Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
