Does anyone on this list service cruise ship pianos? I would imagine that there are probably some interesting piano tech problems in this kind of environment. Servicing these would seem to me like an interesting contract. Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas, NV >> A few years ago I serviced several pianos with another technician on a cruise ship that was docked in Portland for overhaul. The pianos were Yamaha's and Kawai's. All I can remember is as soon as I entered, the band rehearsing stopped immediately for me to tune the piano. Try that for a touring band at your local hop and stop. I also remember that is was hard to find someone who spoke English. We did well with sign language. A good experience and would love to do it again. Dave Peake, RPT Portland Chapter Oregon City, OR
