As far as tuning any of these cheep spinet pianos, I have struggled with it for years. The first thing I conceived is that, they have had the piano for years and they know how it sounds. What I do does improve it, so my work has not gone in vane. Also I know that probably, no one else is going to come along and say I did a terrible job and fix the hole problem. anyone that does the White House piano is not going to come along and question my work. When you are confronted with a pore piano like this, just think that all people's have there standards and just do the best you can with a bad situation.

You say you tuned two Winter spinets, and then you say later that they really can't be tuned. How can you tune a piano that is untunable? I guess you do the best you can and call it partially, mostly tuned. Do you tell the customer that it is partially, mostly tuned or do you hope she doesn't recognize the difference and is happy with any improvement?
