[pianotech] Item found inside pianos

[Paul T Williams]

What a nice thing to find for the lady.  I'm sure she was really glad to 
have it back.  I found a really large (what I thought, diamond at the 
time) but the owner said it was cubic zerconium.  very glad to get it 
back, however, part of a set of earrings her daughter received as a 
present.

[pianotech] Item found inside pianos



Yesterday I pulled the stack out of an old Playotone player ready for 
tuning and discovered a single diamond resting on the keyboard. The lady 
of the house came into the room and I asked her to hold out her hand. I 
then placed the gem into her hand, and the tears began to fall. She had 
lost the diamond out of her engagement ring two years before, and had no 
idea where it had gone. One happy customer I can tell you.
On another occasion I discovered a sapphire ring inside a grand which had 
been lost by 'Gran' who thought it had gone out with the garbage.
Has anyone else found interesting items when tuning?
