(Stumbled across this. Needed to be in "standard tuning" one day, no
piano in sight, and thought: "Hey, wait a sec'. There must be a way to
get a benchmark from any phone..." Guitar players: Impress your
friend(s)! Pick up the phone and tune your guitar. People like it.)

quickly and frequently, and sometimes I say things just for the hell of it.
