<< Slow? Hardly. I have one grand piano in for refinishing, another grand in
 for restringing and action work, an upright to restring, hammer and replace
 keytops, three sets of keys to re-key and re-bush plus one console to put in
 hammers, dampers and regulate. Also I have one grand action to try and
 improve and an upright action to finish reshaping hammers to take back
 Friday for a regulation job.
 Tunings? I have a school district to work, several churches that are
 demanding my services, a recording studio piano needing some attention...all
 in addition to three plus residential tunings I try bang out each day. I'm
 only booked two weeks in advance at this point. I understand several of my
 fellow techs in this area are booked way into July.

 Sure hope I can get a vacation this year. Probably not though...

  Whoever posted their "slow complaint" I hope you're satisfied. This is what
you get. Some guy who can't stop crowing about how they're beating a path to
his door, trampling his rose bed in the process, 150 shady, brick-lined yards
from his oaken door with the big brass knocker. He has to scrape them off his
Mercedes as he backs out the driveway, Their frantic clawing marks on his car
for his services are paid for by the interest off his checking account!  As
for why it is slow some times and not others, check out Chaos theory.
