For bonus difficulty: Single strings of the low and high end of pianos aren't even in tune with themselves. All those little terms that in Physics 101 you said "…and those approach zero so cross them out" come back and make the higher harmonics and lower harmonics not match. Pity the poor bass player attempting to choose his pitch for his note. [wikipedia:stretched tuning]
I generally tell pianists to keep their left hand out of my octave and no one will get hurt.
You know, I've tried to jam with bands as a non-fretted player. It's tough - especially since I haven't played with fretted/keyboard instruments in about 12 years (switched from duet recitals to chamber/symphonic).
It's really frustrating to try and figure out the precise notes - but I can improvise fairly well on my own or with another string. I definitely need to train my ear better, but knowing that there's this interval problem now - it'll probably help, because I know that there's something I'm going to have to adjust for.
