  Tuners,

   

  You might find this funny.   Some time back I ran across a new term that I had not heard before.   Keep in mind that I am a blind person who uses a screen reader on my computer.   Also I keep an extensive list of terms that I started for the students at the Piano hospital many years ago.   

   

  Now because the voice on my computer is not trained for piano terms, it pronounced the word, "bitcherd".   I copied the word to a file to add in to my list later and life went on.   Just yesterday, I ran across the word, "try chord" and you guessed it, the computer voice pronounced it "bitcherd".   Now that I had a couple of words to add in I took them together and read them letter for letter to put them in alphabetical order.   You can imagine my surprise when I saw the spelling and realized that I had been living in suspense for a few weeks for no reason.   

   

  I hope the thread of this humor is getting across, but I will never read "by chord or try chord" again without chuckling.
