After 6 months training, Bill Garlick sent me out to an emergency tuning at a small theater production somewhere in Cambridge. The opening night curtain was going up in 4 hours and they were still building stage sets. I was so green that the shouting, hammers, and 1/4" drills weren't even a distraction! As I remember it, I did a pitch raise without knowing it, and the bottom three or four strings I had to push with my finger to tell if the tension on them was even remotely like those above........... (1976, and it was the first $14 I had ever made from piano tuning, I walked home a wealthy man, that day! Regards to all, Ed Foote ( I may or may not be back online before the convention, but I am certainly inviting all interested to invest 90 of those valuable minutes in the historical tuning class, which is going to be another first time for me, and I certainly hope that those that aren't into it will still introduce themselves to me. I got all these names associated with the opinions and viewpoints from the list, but for the life of me, I have no image of what anybody here looks like! Well, I suppose I have always imagined Newton as having red hair !(:)}})
