tuning and teaching

[Farrell]

>From my standpoint, being a non-player (and obviously I don't perform nor
teach), your situation sounds like an absolutely marvelous full range
exploitation (and I mean that in a good sense) of the piano. You are
intimate with the instrument from all angles. Have you ever built one from
scratch? Do that and I guess you will have experienced them from every
possible angle!

Lucky you. Enjoy!
