I'm inspired by Denele Pitts Campbell's _Notes of a Piano Tuner_, which someone on the list recommended a while ago. She works in rural areas and sometimes does a less-than-perfect job if that's all the customer can afford and that's all the piano can handle. For example, on one piano she could only tune the middle two octaves, which would be enough for a kid to start learning piano. Of course, if the piano is truly untunable, then she'll refuse. How many of you have found yourself taking one of these jobs where there's no way you can do an acceptable job, but you know it'll be enough for the customer, and they will appreciate it? Just curious. Charles Neuman Plainview, NY
