Jim, I'm SO glad to hear you say this. I've recently discovered we have a 7' Horugel in our inventory. It had been in a faculty member's home ever since I came here and recently had to be returned because he was denied tenure (no wise cracks here as to the relationship). :-) I haven't had a chance to do anything except tune it yet but except for a lot of sluggishness in the action, I didn't notice any other serious problems. Think I might get lucky? :-) Avery At 11:37 AM 11/04/99 -0700, you wrote: >Hi Mark: > >I had an experience recently where I was called to tune a 7' Horugel. >Actually, the piano was pretty good.
