I made another walnut and banana cake today. I haven’t made one for a while but there were some bananas that needed to be used so I made a cake. I took a new photo but the cake is more or less exactly the same as the one I made before.
In other news, the piano tuner is coming in the morning. The piano hasn’t been tuned since we came here so it’s well and truly due. I guess he’ll have a computerised gadget to help him tune the strings but maybe he’ll be ‘old school’ and depend solely on his ear.

I want to do some baking, but I am not able to bring myself to do it. This morning I tried two dishes...they turned out ok...I'd say 60 to 70 percent....somewhere there. I need to refine my cooking skills...but the fact that I am going to land in old age home does make me feel what for...

There’s nothing as special as being able to tune an instrument by ear.
Great looking banana cake! Share with us!

It turned out really well. The walnuts help make it better I think.

I hope you ask him. I have heard that the bass notes are sometimes tuned a few cents low and the treble notes a few sense high to sound right. If he's experienced enough, the ear could "trump" (no disgust intended) the gadget.

He had some sort of software program but he had learnt originally just using his ear.

@JudyEv
My oldest daughter loves banana walnut bread. If I make it for her, she eats it for breakfast.

That cake looks amazing to me!
Are there many old school tuners around?

@JudyEv That's great to save the old ones. Roberta Flack, one of my favorite singers started out on a discarded piano her dad broguht home. Sadly, now 85, she has ALS and can no longer sing or even speak.

@JamesHxstatic That's very sad. We saw her at a vineyard concert some years ago.

I think maybe most of the use some sort of software now, even the older guys. Maybe it just gives them peace of mind. This guy would be late 50s at least and has over 50 pianos in a warehouse. He keeps picking up old pianos that he doesn't want to see go to the tip or whatever.
