[pianotech] was hearing - earplugs while tuning

[phil at emvkeys.ca]

Twice in recent weeks, I used plain old expanding foam plugs to tune 
nasty old pianos in noisy environments (really good funk band rehearsing 
in basement, loud TV in common room of seniors' facility) I am amazed at 
how much better I could hear the partials, to say nothing of filtering 
out the other serious distractions. I can only believe that decent 
quality, purpose-designed hearing protection would provide an even 
better result.
