A piano tuned one tone flat is not a very good sound.

Today my dad, brother and I played at an old folks home. Aaaand.... the piano was tuned one tone flat! It was pretty awful trying to play the violin in those conditions. Everything I played felt sooooo wrong, basically because my ears weren't used to wrong tuning. And then Dad started to play a piece on the piano (he's a pianist) by himself, and I sat next to him and turned the pages. Well, in the middle of it, this old guy started yelling out 'STOP! STOP!' He basically kept yelling that throughout the whole piece, until Dad turned round and said 'Could you please stop shouting!' They rolled him off after that, lol. It was actually pretty funny.... after the event was over. Anyhow, that was my little cross to bear today..... a piano tuned one tone flat. :D
