Hi Marshall, I was at a curriculum board meeting at Emil Fries a couple of weeks ago and they mentioned that you were coming. It will be good to get to meet you in person, Diane Diane Hofstetter ----Original Message Follows---- From: pianotune05 at comcast.net Reply-To: Pianotech List <pianotech at ptg.org> To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: The worst piano I've tuned thus far Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 01:00:53 +0000 Hey everyone, I finally tuned that Ajello piano. Yes, Ajello is a brand as someone here, and I cannot recall sent a website link which mentioned it. It's an English piano ,but I didn't notice the accent. Loose tuning pins were abundant. It only had 85 keys I believe. It ended with A8 rather than C8. I might have misscounted since I was in a hurry to finish it. It took me longer than normal since i had to do some other things to it namely spacing some strings. Anyway, if all works out and I can attend Emil Fries in September, I hope we cover these odd pianos so I can really get them sounding and playing better. This piano also had a wooden rail similar to the metal ones on Asian pianos with the felt hanging down. It was an interesting piano that's for sure. Marshall Chicago IL
