[CAUT] Nice sound can carry

Hi Bob,

Thanks and yes, that's who it was.  Wowie, it was a dynamite
performance--one of those where the audience immediately leapt to its feet.
I lost count, was it four curtain calls?   Secretly, I was relieved that he
didn't play an encore--that piano had been played REAL hard, and though I
didn't hear anything amiss during the performance, I was wondering how the
tuning (OK, the unisons) had fared.  :-)   I'll find out next week when I go
back to tune for the next event.

Speaking of tuning.  This piano is a bear to tune--it really needs a new 
pinblock (popping pins, a multitude of pins riding the plate, etc). 
Fortunately, I heeded the advice to tune unisons as I go--what a difference 
it's made in stability!

Barbara Richmond, RPT
