Someone must like full sized uprights or they would not pay $15K to $45K for new ones that size. One reason the old uprights have a bad name is the piano salesmen who have brainwashed the public to think they are no longer good pianos. Another reason is the piano technicians who go to tune them and, since they know nothing about restoration of vintage instruments, they say it can't be fixed. I wish I had a nickel for every customer who said to me, "I 've had 4 other tuners come over and they said it can't be fixed." I would be well off. It would seem that there are a large number of extremely timid or scared tuners out there who think if they can't do it no one can. I suggest anyone who only tunes and does no restoration, Please go find a qualified restoration shop and send your customers to them. Don't worry your customer will be back for your services after the piano is restored and has gotten the first year of free tunings from the restorer that come with the job. You will then have a wonderful piano to tune rather than that victorian beast you dread right now. I can say a restoration shop would often prefer not to do the regular tunings you do so well since we can barely get all our rebuild work done. D.L.
