---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Gentlefolk of the list, I had a very interesting job yesterday. It was well worth it, despite a 100 mile drive to Pebble Beach. A store owner I contract for set me up to tune a Seiler piano purchased by a woman who lives in Pebble Beach, right on 17 mile drive, looking out over the Pacific Ocean. Pretty spectacular little "cottage." He had told me that she was a piano eccentric, and she was the owner of two Faziolis(7 and 9 foot, not exactly sure of specific sizes), 2 Steinways(a D and a B), and Boesendorfer upright. Apparently, she had a perfect spot for this Seiler 180(5'10"). Her piano inventory is worth considerably more than most houses. Nothing spectacular to report. I was hoping to be able to work on all of the pianos, but she has someone specific who comes around to do the Faziolis, and another gentleman for the Steinways. I get to be the Seiler guy, though, which is not a bad gig either. I figure on 5-6 hour visits on a 6-monthly basis. Being right on the ocean, it's likely to need servicing quite frequently. There is already a heater bar in it. As for the Faziolis, I got to play the 7 footer, which is unfortunately all I had time for. It was a brief encounter. I cannot say that it was the nicest piano I've ever played, but I can't say that it wasn't, either. Sweet sound, and oodles of power in that thing. The action had some heft to it, but the feel was buttery. Don't know how else to describe it. I'd like a few days to get used to it. It was blanketed and had objects on it, so looking inside was out of the question. Next time... End of report. Thanks for reading!
