Concert Tuning & Prep Sequence

[Will Wickham]

Hi Rick,

I tuned for Dino many, many  years ago. I never actually met him and  
the piano was a rented Yamaha (I don't recall for sure, but it was  
either a GH-1 grand or a P22 upright). The only feed back I got at  
the time was that the event had gone well. Coincidentally, I recently  
tuned for one of the sponsoring churches of that concert. Based on  
that experience and more recent conversations with a person who was  
on the organizational committee for that long ago concert, my  
supposition would be that he is pretty easy to please.

  Good luck!
