Joe, I thought of you in the field the other day. It was an old upright with two broken shanks to repair. I was delighted to have them both come out right: the back stops were level, the drilling went strait and so on. It sure was a long ways from taking a test when I was so nervice. Thanks, William PIANO BOUTIQUE William Benjamin Piano Tuner Extraordinaire www.pianoboutique.biz The tuner alone, preserves the tone. -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Joseph Garrett Sent: Thursday, August 24, 2006 10:16 PM To: Avery; Pianotech List Subject: Re: Kaps Upright Hmmmm?
