You two have just earned an honored place on Joe's mantle.

I've got only one customer with a square, and he usually calls about every 
decade (about 2 years overdue, right now...).  I'm only about 5'8", and it 
and the one at school are 88 key gargantuans, but I still haven't minded 
the stretch.

The last time I tuned either one was before I had my RCT.  Just a wild 
idea, but has anyone tried tuning a big square using an assistant at the 
keys and you in the back with ETD and tuning hammer?  Could be easier on 
the back.
