---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List, I started a very long day by putting 10 new low bass monochords on a Steinway M. Two of the old ones had broken at the beckets about a month ago when I backed them out tried to back them out to give their sorry dead coils a twist. Fortunately, I was able to convince her to go for a whole set of monochords (the bichords should have some life for awhile). Did the whole bunch without a putting a bloody string hole in my finger. Last job of the day--after tuning a couple of forgettable consoles--was putting a new wire each on three different pianos at a local university. One was the practice concert "D" S and S, the other two were "Bs" in a piano professor's private studio. So why did they have to break when their regular tech(my friend, a private contractor) was on vacation?? I see it as good experience, good PR, and good contacts (and still no finger holes). The experience gave me an appreciation for all of you University techs out there. Things have to happen NOW, or better yet, YESTERDAY! EVeryone was nice, yet neurotic, about getting these instruments up and running. How do you do it every day? Still, there is something about knowing exactly where your paycheck is coming from, and getting health and vacation benefits from your employer. Strung out and sleepy in Santa Clara, Dave Stahl The school does not have a full-time technician. It contracts out to my friend, who was on vacation. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
