dangerous pianos

[Farrell]

I'm not at all one to be frightened when working with plates, but if I had walked into that home and saw that, I would have RUN quickly while telling the dude to call me after HE re-installed the screws!!! Wowee Zowee! What some folks will do.

    A technician friend of mine showed up to tune a grand and noticed all the plate screws were missing.  He asked the owner about it, who said, "Oh, I took them out to have them re-plated."  Needless to say, he didn't raise pitch or tune, but just waited til the screws were returned, then reinstalled them.  Nothing bad happened, (not to say it never could).
