[Dodoerabe]

i almost always tune by ear (been playing guitar since i was six) and i always had to tune up by a tiny amount when i played with other instrumentalists... i find my beautiful classical guitar does indeed sound better when tuned just slightly flat of 440.. at some point i guess i'll have to get my hands on an electronic tuner and see what frequency i'm actually tuning to.

as for larry, you rock man. you remind me of a more intellectual version of the sound engineer i interned with as a highschool student. his big deal was making sure that the acoustical characteristics of his room were perfect... and they were pretty damned good. if i had taken a different path in life i'd be begging you right now for an internship
