[pianotech] DIY tuning

[paul bruesch]

Going to tune a spinet tomorrow.

Customer says it has "one wire broken, A below middle C..."

Chatted a bit more, then she says "I tried to tune it myself."

Me: "Is that how the string broke?"

Her: "Yes. It didn't look that hard, but I guess it is. I got the tool from
my son." (Well good, I was imagining her using a 6" Crescent!)

So I'm curious... how often has anyone come across this? It's a first for me
in my not-so-many years of tuning.
