Terry Farrell Richard Ucci said: "Joe, thanks for the input. I'm about 5'7" and have = had lower back problems in the past(moving too many pianos with the old = man years ago.) I'm thinking I should not schedule any other tunings = after this one that day." RU/UP, IMO, you are too short, by about 1", to "comfortably" tune Square = Grands! Techs @ 5'8" to 6'2" are less likely to have back problems from = this job. (I'm 5'11") If you have "back problems", DO NOT exacerbate = your condition with Square Grands! (Duh!) Refer to a younger/taller = skilled technician, please. On a "first time Square Grand appointment", = I block the whole day out. More often than not, there are many repairs, = etc., to be done, before tuning can commence. Spending time with the = client to inform them of the shortcomings and attributes of their = instrument is tatamount to the job, IMHO. One final thing, Take Numerous = Breaks! These breaks should be with stretching exercises and back = exercises. There are tricks to getting through the process w/o crippling = yourself. Best Regards, Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
