[pianotech] work hazards - an honest man

[William Truitt]

Jim, I hope you can admit to yourself when your are wrong, and say that "the
last guy who tuned it was NOT an idiot!"

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.
