The voice that would rather tune
John's real voice is thin and high: it doesn't match a build like his in the slightest. He could have just hidden it away; instead he turned it into a way of working. "I don't shout, I tune," he tends to say when someone asks him for more volume or the high note. The noise, he says, is the machine's job; his is to leave everything at just the right point. It's his way of having a voice without raising it.
