Got a flute professor pressuring my wife to tune the harpsichord. She figures most harpsichordists tune their instrument so why shouldn't the contract piano accompanist tune the harpsichord? I agreed with her that most harpsichordists do tune their harpsichords but than added that most made their harpsichord from a kit and knew all about re-stringing the harpsichord and how easy it is to break a string... Go figure, Andrew Anderson It frequently takes more than one ugly fact to slay a beautiful theory. --Chad Orzel At 03:27 PM 6/3/2006, you wrote: >On Jun 3, 2006, at 8:48 AM, Conrad Hoffsommer wrote: > >>We also did the new carpet/painting bit a few years ago.
