That would be about 100 pianos.  Most of us do about 4 per day.  Six a
day is not unusual but trying to keep up that schedule is near
impossible month after month after month.  Yes, you rebuild or go crazy
or your stock goes to hell.  And when you have to do four recital pianos
a day for three weeks all the rest gets undone.  Then you start all over
again.  And again.  And again, again, again, ag ...

You were there for four days.  Try four years and your attitude will be
rather well adjusted. :)

Then there is paper work, lyre repairs, music desk repairs, string
replacements, staff meetings, recital attendance (when you have time),
CAUT, pianotech, mpt, and the list goes on and on and on.  Then if you
are the computer guru ...

If you have 150 pianos it gets worse and worse and worse ...

Ok, screaming over.

Whew.
