piano tuning perception (improvement)

Well, the American Composers Forum New York chapter is having its
annual holiday party at my place again this Saturday, and since
several people are going to be performing live, or bringing
performers, it was time to tune my piano again...

Well, I'm not a piano tuner in the league of Ed Foote or anything of
the kind, but I can tune the way I was taught in school.

I have to say, though, that since my more "intensive" tuning studies
on this list, my hearing has changed, and I believe I've become
*much* more accurate in tuning matters... even in perceptual
matters...

So listening to tiny little intervals (well, large ones, too) very
carefully really does something for a person...

I think this one of the benefits. I hate to say but some the noise people i know seem to
have worse ears as time goes by, and it is good to work with something that improves with age.

Thanks, Kraig!

Yes, really, I *do* notice the difference... maybe I'm just more
*intent* on the tuning rather than just "well there are 12 notes in
there someplace" as in the old days... :) No turning back, or
*tuning* back now!
