The most common questions I get are "Do you > have enough light" And the answer, today at least, is: "No." It's raining heavily and the skies are pretty darn dark. And the only illumination for that half of the room is the piano lamp which gets put on the floor as we open up the piano. Other than urging the owner to scrounge up a floor lamp, or pulling a lame clip on utility lamp out of the car, I'm wondering what the rest of you do. Fifteen or more years ago Paul Rattigan of Norwell, MA put together a halogen lamp product -- clip on and with a base, special carrying case -- and marketed it to piano technicians. After about a year of insignificant sales he gave up on the side venture, and returned his full attention to working on pianos. Product recommendations anyone? Patrick Draine
