Yeah fine, tune it after the the weather warms up.... Then, tune it after the weather turns cold again. No difference there.. Then, tune it again between the weather changes. My guess would be the tuner is trying to make him or herself look better than you. Dean May is right. They are changing constantly regardless of what people think or what they wish for their piano to do. I tune them throughout the entire year. There is no way that I can tune everybody's piano ONLY when it is cold or ONLY when it is warm. Besides that, most of them want it tuned for certain events, tuned in September for the beginning of choir, tuned before Thanksgiving, Christmas etc... It is never ending. You probably didn't really want a client like her anyway. :) Jer From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Matthew Todd Sent: Tuesday, February 23, 2010 11:47 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Tuning in climate changes Hi list, I just had a cancellation this morning from a client who received advise from another tuner not to get her piano tuned just yet, because we are in the middle of a cold spell, and to wait until the weather gets warmer, otherwise her piano would go out of tune once the weather warmed up. That is good advise, however, I was wondering how many of us give that advise on a regular basis. I guess if some of you would enjoy (and can afford) a three month vacation, then I am sure that would be the advise you would give. Thoughts anyone?
