---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hi Everyone, I know it's not a technical question per sae, but I like hearing about other technician's experiences. What has been yoru worst tuning environment? Today I tuned a piano at a nursing home, an Acrosonic. The people were great, but it always throws me off when someone comesup and asks me a question such as, "Have you found that lost chord yet." I was making sure my thirds matched up evenly. It was great, and I scheduled them for their next tuning already plus one of the employees there scheduled me to tune her piano in two weeks. It was a great experience, but it's hard to tune with lots of background activity. What do you guys do in that situation, besides make the best of it.?:) Marshall ps. It was a great tuning all around however, plus they offered me lunch! Awesome chili and corn bread. -------------- Original message -------------- From: Susan Kline <skline@peak.org> > At 03:57 PM 2/3/2006 -0800, Horace wrote: > >Actually that has been done a number of times.
