In a message dated 97-05-18 08:08:46 EDT, you write: << What a strange feeling it was to tune like that! When I got finished, she said, "It sounds worse but it's better. Do you know what I mean?" >> (snipped) Once I had a customer who hadn't tuned the piano in 14 years, and it turned out that I was actually the first to tune it since it was new. (It was a cheap spinet, HORRIBLY flat and all over the place) Well, I was left by myself in the house to do the work as I had to make 3 to 4 passes on this pitch raise and I finished the job and went about my day and when I got home there was a message on my ans machine to call this customer. When I spoke to them they said "What did you do to our piano? It sounds weird, and it is really sharp!" (meaning in pitch, not like "good"). I guess they just got so used to a horrible piano that when it was "right" it actually was "wrong" ! Go Figure... Greg Torres, Niceville tunapiana@aol.com P.S. Never heard from them again even when I called a few months later to re-tune....
