But don't you see what Matthew is doing? He's using the Doppler Effect
to fix his tuning problems! See, if your horn is flat, then you drive
fast *toward* the audience in order to raise the apparent pitch. If you
are sharp, you drive really fast *away* from the listener... :-/

slower? That would make me very happy. I really don't want him to die
because how would I know what happened?
