  Hi All,
  This morning a tuned a piano which I had tuned several years ago. Not =
much to report on the piano...but my beautiful Renner voicing tool which =
seem to have walked out of my tool case some time ago, was staring right =
at me from the inside of the piano.=20
  I'm a self-confessed member of the involuntarily tool =
donation/contribution group, a special selected group of mid-40ish =
tuners who have a nasty habit of leaving their best tools at customer's =
homes.

Back in the early 70s I ordered an action rail from Steinway. When it =
arrived the package had been so badly mangled the rail was bent beyond =
repair and we had to order another. From the original mangled rail I =
managed to salvage enough short pieces to make handles for my grand =
action regulating tools. Not long thereafter I managed to loose one of =
them. Now, fast forward to the late 1980s. I was doing a class for =
Baldwin somewhere in the Northwest and a technician from Portland =
approached me and asked if the regulating screwdriver he was showing me =
might be mine. He had found it in a piano he had been servicing and =
remembered having seen it during a class I had once done years earlier. =
It had come full circle.

It's a small world--you have to be good all the time.
