It's going to be a GREAT day when you hand her the bill for the pitch-raise, tuning and bridle strap replacement and she pays you in cash! > ..and I'll go on record as saying this..why are alot of these calls that I'm > receiving, these last-minute-I-need-it-done-yesterday calls involve Baldwin > Acrosonics..? Two reasons: First, most Acrosonic owners try to keep their instruments in top condition by having them tuned at least once a decade, whether they need it, or not. Secondly, owners know from past experience that even with this kind of "over-and-above" maintenance, the only way they can get anyone to listen to them play is by filling their audience with PLENTY of "Holiday cheer". first. Hence the once-every-decade tuning calls for Acrosonics ALWAYS come right at Christmas or New Years. As to why they ask you to tune on the day of the party, instead of a week, or two earlier, that's an easy one, too. They know that the last time they gave their Acrosonic that required, once-every-decade tuning, it didn't last anywhere NEAR a whole week! :) Where else but Pianotech could you find valuable information like the above?!
