Regarding Isaac's comments;

You are indeed so gracious in responding to the newer teckys.  I know your
time is valuable, but please be assured that your comments are well taken.
I've been in the business for over 50 years, and I learn from you everytime
you write, or sitting in one of your classes.  This time it was the PMS.
(Post Moving Syndrome).  This is what makes our business and PTG so great.
Hope to see you all at our 50th in K.C.

Carlos Ralon, RPT

Hi,Julia!   So far you got exellent recommendations from the Listers..I can
only add that

I have 4 different types of jacks,all work just fine. In my opinion,The Car
Jack-scissors type  on a pedestal is a winner and I already have it in my
van.If you have that very useful tool-you will use it.Grand pianos are
always in need of attention in that department.Rubber mallet ,good selection
of #16-#18 wood screws ,screwmate drills, plugs  and even a pair of small
and large Leg Plates  one of each kind is a MUST.I always check pianos for
stability before tuning.Today had to fix leg #2 and re-attach the Lyre on a
Hamilton 5'2" for a new client.They had this piano moved from far away a few
years back,had it tuned a few times and nobody noticed or paid attention to
that clicking noise coming from loose leg.

Because I have all this equipment in my van-I did it without  any waiting
and it didn't take long.The leg plate was loose ,loose leg produced loud
clicking sound making it impossible to tune the piano.It was another case of
Post Moving Syndrome.Hope,all previous posts and responces will make you
more enthusiastic about doing this type of work.Few times a year I have to
do this type of repair for my PTG collegues who can't do it or are
Overqualified to do it..Best Regards..Isaac Sadigursky,Los Angeles

Greetings,

 

          I have this job a guy wants to attatch the pedal lyre, but the
piano has no casters and isnt high enough to do so. I am just wondering if I
should refer the job to another tuner in our chapter, who has the jack,
since I wont be able to make the money back for buying the jack on the first
job. Is it worth buying? Is there a big call for this type of work, or will
the thing just sit? Is there a "home made way" of doing this job?
