leaving our mark in the piano

[David Nereson]

 I still sign, but lightly, small, and in an inconspicuous spot,
either on the plate or the keys, and in pencil so it can be
erased.  It’s partly so that if the piano gets sold or
transferred to another owner, and I tune it again, I’ll see that
I have worked on the piano before, but mainly so that other
tuners will know when it was tuned last and if it was tuned to
A=440 or left flat for some reason.  Also sometimes the
customers want a record in the piano of when it was serviced.
Yes, I know about the PTG stickers, which eventually come loose
or get lost.

I still think that the business card is the way to go.  I'd
rather risk someone losing my business card than losing them as
a customer because I decided to inscribe my "mark" in their
piano.  Before we moved to Chicago , we attended a church back
in South B end, IN where a tech whom I know and respect highly
afixed his label on the front corner of the fall board of a
Yamaha grand.  It was in an inconspicious spot, but the idea of
sticking something on a piano bothers me.  I also hate when
pianos are painted, I mean painted.  Have a good one all.  Is
anyone else geting snow?
