<HTML>This weekend I made two people very happy On Friday I worked for 2 hours prepping the D in our concert hall, in anticipation for Yafim Bronfman coming to play with the Tuscaloosa Symphony Orchestra. The time was spent fine tuning and voicing the new D. This afternoon I talked with Mr. Bronfmin, and he is very happy with the piano. On Saturday I had an appointment in the backwoods of Alabama, where I worked on a 25 year Cable Nelson spinet, that hadn't been tuned for ever, with half the notes not playing, sitting on the front porch of a run down farm house. The owner asked if I could resurrect the piano so his grandson could play on it. I raised the pitch 153 cents, removed books, magazines and pictures from between the stickers, and a quarter from between two keys. At the end of the two hours, the instrument almost sound like a piano again. Maybe not on the level as the Steinway, but I made the grandfather very happy. Two different instruments, two different levels of skills, but the same result. That's what makes this profession so great. Wim </HTML>
