Our main vocalist Julian Kytasty has perfect pitch, so he would have mentioned it if I were out of tune. 2. I am "pitch challenged" so I use devices. My Korg-AT1 didn't say anything either. 3. I guess I have to thank Larry Brown for a really stable intrument. Maybe you should apprentice to him. 4. One other possibility is that Ken Be' tuned my axe when I wasn't looking, on Saturday, but it is not very likely. RT Yes, not likely that I tuned it, I can attest. By the way, Roman's lute DID seem well in tune after all it's travels (so did my all-gut strung 11 course after coming out of its case for the 1st in two months!)
