emergency for someone near Biloxi

[Brian Trout]

Hi Ed,

It's Saturday evening, about 9:45pm as I write
this.  I just came across your post on the list.

I'm probably an hour's drive from Biloxi but I
don't want to say yes I can do it without knowing
a little more about it.

I do NOT work well under pressure.  I'm not a
fast tuner.  I can't knock out a concert level
tuning in an hour, wouldn't even try.  If it's
quiet, they'll leave me alone, and they have a
nicely tunable piano, two to two and one half
hours will deliver a nice tuning.  Those are
three BIG "ifs" which I almost never get, hense,
I seldom do any concert work.  Actually, I don't
do much tuning.

So, I guess I wondered if they're: 1) easily
accessible, 2) able to provide me with quiet, 3)
able to provide me with a couple of hours (2 1/2
is even better) of "quality time" with the piano,
4) in posession of a quality instrument that's in
condition to receive a concert level tuning...
hmmm, I'm probably leaving out something...

And,... although I'm not particularly money
motivated, I would be interested in knowing what
this might be worth.  A standard $80 tuning fee
I'll blow off in a heartbeat.  If it were to
approach the $200 level, it starts to look
interesting.

If you get this yet this evening, and you still
need someone, I wouldn't mind knowing more.  I'm
not in the office at the moment, but I'll be
likely to check the e-mail another time or two
yet tonight.

Not trying to be obnoxious, just trying to lay my
cards on the table.  Don't know if they're of use
or not.

Drop me a note if you want to.  If not, I'll
understand.

Take care,

Brian
