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.

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. Jim
