Hi Phil, The Browns played here a few years ago and I tuned their pianos for them. I’m a bit younger than you, but I got through them without too much trouble. The pianos have already been tuned at the previous concert, so it’s not that you’ll have to complete major pitch corrections. Cruise through and make it stable, what else can they ask for? I’d be happy to come out to Chico to help, but I’m sure there are other qualified techs who are closer.

With them comes 5 pianos, 2S&S D's and 3 B's. I am expected to tune them all the day they arrive (the open rehearsal day) and the next day which is the day of the concert. I am a good tuner and I'm relatively quick, but there's no way I can do 5 concert tuning in 5 hours and repeat that again the next day. I'm 64 years old and comfortable with two a day and often three, but even when I was 25 I wouldn't have been able to do a good job after the first three. I assume they have done concerts all over the country and other techs have faced something similar. Any advice? Anyone want to trade places with me for a couple of days? I wish I could do it, I'd give them a whopper of a bill. Thanks Phil Frankenberg CSUChico Chico, Ca. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
