I'm sure that's it.  You start hearing one problem and then become over-attuned to everything else, and the fact that the Mellotron isn't exactly tuned doesn't help it a bit.  After a while you kind of settle down and the next thing it's all fine.  Weird beyond weird.  


I had a friend - well, I say 'friend'...I really mean 'twat that I knew' - who had a hugely accurate sense of pitch and who had to give up on music simply because everything sounded like this to him.  I'd hate to have that sort of talent.

Psychoacoustic disturbance.  Sometimes everything seems suspect.  Even tuning a guitar becomes a problem and you start doubting yourself.  And then it all makes sense again!  Weird.
