Iffn  conditions were diff'rent, I'd say Aloha, too.  We'd probably

Our bell choir just celebrated 25 years, and at one  time there were 3 
piano tuners in it.  (now there's only 2  RPTs)

What, if anything, is the connection betwixt bells and  pianos?

Enjoy your Pacific adventure !!

What's the connection between handbells and pianos, you ask. Nothing  really, 
but I really enjoy playing handbells. I also love playing racquetball. I  
tune pianos to make a living. I play handbells and racquetball to support my  
"habits".
 
I have, on several occasions, however, used my ear to point out some very  
out of tune handbells. In a choir up in St. Louis, the first time I played  Ab 
3, it was so flat I thought I had picked up the wrong bell. Yet no-one had  
ever heard it.  And this last semester I volunteered to direct a  handbell choir 
at another church, and their C4 & D4 were so horribly out of  tune, it made 
the rest of the bells sound awful. Unfortunately, bells can't  be tuned, at 
least not with the equipment I have available. 
 
Jan and I are really looking forward to our new life. It's going to cost us  
some money, but I am confident I can recoup the expense in a couple of months. 
 
I guess I'm going to have to get used to saying it, too. Aloha
 
Wim
