John, Well, there's always the time I dropped the sledgehammer on an edge of the stretcher of a just refinished grand. My partner at the time (the refinisher) just looked at it, said a few choice words, then said that when I finished stringing he'd fix it (implying, of course, that there would probably be more "fixes"). Luckily, there weren't. He did the repair and you couldn't even tell it had happened! BTW, before anyone says anything, that was back in the "dark ages" of my career, before I learned to pad the stretcher while stringing!! (or while doing key leveling from underneath with the keyboard standing on its back edge. Don't even ask how I learned that lesson!) >At 01:16 PM 8/14/96 -0500, you wrote: > >>How 'bout some more stringing stories folks....? >> >>John McKone, RPT >>Minneapolis, MN >>http://www.skypoint.com/members/mckonejw _____________________________________ Avery Todd, RPT Moores School of Music University of Houston Houston, TX 77204-4893 713-743-3226 atodd@uh.edu _____________________________________
