They're all humans....that said guard u'r stuff... -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Robin Stevens" <pianoman at westnet.com.au> I remember tuning a piano in a Institution for the mentally unbalanced. Halfway through the tuning with my bag open a sweet looking teenage female in her dressing gown approached me and said...DO I LOOK LIKE A KILLER TO YOU? No need to say, I VERY quickly closed my bag!! Another time while tuning in a jail with the guard sitting along side of me I opened up the bottom to check the pedals only find a small arsenal of sharpened objects and blow gun darts. One day I'll write a book.

They asked if I had anything in my case which could be used as a weapon.......... "Weapon?", I said. "I have enough stuff in here to start a war." The guard said, "Ok", and I was let in............ I was accompanied by a guard, but this minimum security place let prisoners around me with all my tools etc..... Then I have tuned twice at the max. security nut house. No problems there either, except I was locked in the room with the piano. That took a lot of focus.................... :-) les bartlett From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Jim Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2006 12:00 PM To: Pianotech List Subject: Re: Tuning for Correctional Institute I'm sure the authorities will scrutinize your equipment . . .better leave the C4 at home ! ----- Original Message ----- From: Michelle Smith To: 'Pianotech List' Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2006 12:38 PM Subject: Tuning for Correctional Institute Im scheduled to tune a piano for a federal correctional institute.
