[pianotech] work hazards - an honest man

[Ruth Phillips]

Jim, you are an honest man!  Yes, sometimes it just happens.  My favorite
line in
my classes is, Ask Me How I Know.  I also agree with Mark Wisner that we
have 
no way of knowing what occurred prior to our visit.  I'm enjoying all the
wisdom 
coming from this topic.

Brian,

I agree with Ruth, and add this story. A couple of years ago I tuned/prepped
for a certain "high profile" performer. When the piano came in it was
terrible! Specs everywhere, tuning all over the place. I complained to the
driver that the last tech must be an idiot... He quietly told me that this
was the piano I prepped three weeks earlier, but it had been sitting in the
truck since then (-10 degrees at one point) Sometimes it just happens.
