  Hello Piannaman , I tuned for a cello pro in a local symphony and his wife was the piano player at rehearsal times , The piano was a baldwin Hamilton. She was an expert at everything and tried her hand at tuning, She broke 47 strings through out the piano as she also said she would replace the strings to her husband, She tried he first string to 
  replace and reported to the hospital as the steel wire cut her and went through her hand,
  The call was reported as tuning and broken strings, She paid for her mistakes big time.

    Hi all,

    I sent a post a couple of weeks ago about going out to tune a piano for a gentleman who had attempted to tune his own instrument.  He was actually a very nice guy, and played the piano quite well, and because he had a pretty muusical ear, he thought it would be a piece o' cake.

    I got a call back from him yesterday telling me what a great job I did, and how "in tune" the piano sounds.  That kind of phone call is always nice to get.  But it got me to thinking...was it because he had attempted to achieve a good tuning on his own that he appreciated the work of a professional tuner?  

    Maybe some of our less appreciative customers should be given a tuning hammer and allowed to try their luck.  Anybody else ever have this experience?
