Two harps, the grand organ, and a tuba -- all being tuned for the rehearsal of Bartok's Bluebeard's Castle. The empty chairs would gradually be filled by the other players, who would also tune their instruments in that marvellous cacaphony that only a symphony orchestra can achieve.
My friend tuning his guitar. Just used sunlight and the portrait setting on my Canon EOS Rebel XS with a standard 18-55mm lens.
In all my years of playing, I have never found a more potent joy than that of playing a freshly tuned piano. There's something about it, how the keys live inside each other, harmonizing perfectly. And it's all thanks to these little pegs.
If only they'd sit tight!
(edit: truth is, these pegs never twist on their own. It's the humidity in the air that warps the piano wood [along with pounding jazz chords], causing the piano wires to tighten or slacken.The pegs are merely the means by which the tuner returns the wires to their proper tautness)

We had local fever at #ThirdThursMIA: Get Local.
We tuned in to live local music from Dérobé Dance Band presented by the Local Current, we discovered local connections in the MIA’s global collection, and sampled local food offerings from the MIA’s new food vendors.
We also met MN Artists Exhibition Program artist Chad Rutter at his book launch for Flood Music and made our own MN-style art to show our neighborhood pride with a pennant.
We shopped local and meet the makers behind The Bow Tie Shoppe and Marked Leather and connected with the local Whittier neighborhood offerings.
We took in local Coffee House Press author/illustrator Eric Hanson‘s MIA library residency presentation and listened to and remix the collection as interpreted by MN musicians.
Beautifully tuned to live in the gloom of caves and overhangs; bullseyes have big eyes and dark scales. Fairy Bower
