There is one notorious tuner up this way. I have to share a couple of beauties with you. He was tuning this piano, and the customer noticed that she hadn't heard a note in a while and went to check. He was flat out on the carpet sleeping. Same tuner, an even worse story. Once again the customer noticed no noise in a while, and went to check, he was having a bath, in her bathroom. I should have changed the heading to, "Unbelievable but True. These stories, came direct from the customers concerned, and are not hearsay. John M.
