Kemble's stopped making grands 15 years ago, phoned them up today. which is one on me, I have tuned a lot of Kembles but have never seen one of the grands and to top that off, I did part of my training there. I was there back in the 70s must have gone round with my eyes shut. Mind you at the end of seven tunings a day a Kemble & a Yamaha grand, would look the same from a distence. I just had uprights pianos to tune and tone, I was fit for nothing at the end of the day. I learnt a lot but obviously not enough. I bet this will bring a chuckle to Newton's chops On the + side Kembles ask for info on how to join the list. Which is good news.
