One additional tidbit of information I like to leave on a business card inside the piano (other than Temp/RH and how much pitch adjustment) is the FAC measurements. This saves a few minutes of setup time on my next appointment. Speaking of tuning records, have any of you been contacted about CLIP software for piano technicians? Seems a bit costly to me to replace a $15 investment in 3x5 cards. I'd like to have a computer program for my private clients, but it would have to be something reasonably priced. Might be great for institutional setting, but doesn't run on a MAC, which I think most schools of music are using. Jeff >David and list, > I've been pondering this for some time.
