>Case in point: I tune almost any piano within 15 minutes of my house (any
farther and it=B9s pretty much only good grands.) Today I tuned a Wurlitzer
console; it was a neighbor=B9s grandma=B9s piano, with a card from Francis Meha=
ffey
stuck in the top (Grandma lived in Claremont, CA, where Francis lived.)

Anyway, I didn=B9t =B3just run through it,=B2 but tuned it as I would tune a good
grand---slowly and carefully.

When it was done, and I played it, the first thing out of my mouth was
=B3that=B9s the best this little guy has ever sounded.=B2

A good, focused tuning can make a huge difference in a C grade piano.
Really.

Best to all----
