Hi everyone

I was too tired to take any notes today.

I tuned the sampler to the Prinz today.  David V. had been asking for 
stronger, so since this one has a pure C-E third, I thought he might like 
it.  (He told me later, that was his favorite of the week)

What I've learned:

Everyone hears and experiences these things differently.  I didn't get a 
whole lot of feedback, since I didn't hang around the piano.  I was told it 
got a LOT of playing, so I'm hoping it made an impression.  Those of you 
coming home now, go ahead and speak your mind, positive or negative, I'm a 
big boy!  I do know the first day's tuning was not as stable as later on, 
because of the humidity shift. :(

Lessseee, .... I went to 2 classes today:

Moving with brains, not brawn.  I don't really remember the name, but it was 
the guy who created the piano horse for tipping a grand.  Great class, he 
knows his stuff and thinks!  Everything from masonite protection for the 
floors to using a box-jack for lifting the side of a grand, to creating an 
air-conditioned (he's from Texas) custom piano trailer.


On to Cybercafe, maybe I'll put some thoughts down tomorrow.
