Just got home from a repeat client. The piano: A Lindeman, 1920ish, 52". The first time I saw it , I had to put a new set of key tops on; bush the keys; ease/level/dip the keys; clean out the interior; recondition the action; regulate it all and raise the pitch 69 cents!<G> A year later, (I did recommend a 6 month follow up, but that didn't happen), the piano was exactly like I would have expected: The middle and bass were a few cents flat. A4 was 2cents flat. The Killer octave, up to the top C88, was, for the most part a few cents sharp.<G> Tuning was a breeze and the client told me that he thought it sounded o.k. at the 6 month time, so let it go the full year. He was right. Damn! I need to quit using that pitch raising program and tuning so solid! Cost me bucks there! <G> One sluggish key: C88, ....so, my bushing/easing went as expected. I just love it when a plan comes together.<G> Just thought I'd give y'all a bit of insight into the way that PR program lays it out for ya. Have a great weakend. Me? I'm off to oversee Oregon Day, in Keizer Oregon. That's a one day seminar for all us DUCKS/HUSKIES/BEAVERS AND OTHER ASSORTED ANIMAL TYPE MASCOTS! <G> Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
