The experience of learning to tune a piano (of which I am still on the
starting side of the line) is a real eye and ear opening experience. Highly
recommended for educating ones ears. After trying to tune a piano a couple of
times, I actually learned to listen differently than before.

It seems entirely possible that the availability of electronic tuners has
caused a general decline in aural acuity. For too many musicians, it is
too easy and too tempting to play pitches into the tuner, and assume that
if they can get the needle to "zero out," they are in tune, and will be in
tune in an ensemble.
