I think a good number 13 question would be: #13 Am I likely to be locked in the school/institution when tuning there late in the afternoon? It happened to me while tuning at a school late in the afternoon. After the students went home giving me a lovely peaceful tuning environment, no one had remembered that I was in the music room. When leaving the room I was confronted by 10 foot high locked gates everywhere I tried to get out. Luckily I noticed a cleaner in the distance who let me out...on another occasion I had the phone number of the Head master.... hmmmm! Robin Stevens South Australia New Customer Questionnaire 1. Customer/Business Name 2. Contact Name & Phone 3. Mailing Address 4. Piano Type 5. Age 6. Last Tuned 7. Environment: Temperature & Humidity 8. Functional Problems 9. Special Needs (concert, tune to organ?) 10. Driving Directions 11. How did you hear about me? 12. Is the piano locked? #2 is important; sometimes one spouse will book the appt from work, and you get to a locked gate or need directions and have no home phone # to call. #8 is also good: "Oh, yeah, by the way, a whole octave doesn't play at all, and the last guy said there were four broken strings." That's what they call for, not the tuning (usually). --Cy-- ABQ, NM TODD PIANO WORKS Matthew Todd, Piano Technician (979) 248-9578 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
