A kitchen cabinet manufacturer wanted a 1/3 pound of #15 wire to use as a guide for their counter tops. I even delivered it to their plant, when I was in the area anyway. No big deal.

I've done this many times - forwindshields, cleaning carburetors, a loom, etc., etc. It can be kindafun - you get to meet someone doing something different than what youdo - and hey, maybe they have a piano - or know someone that does - ormaybe they'll tell someone about their experience with you and theytell someone who has a piano - or whatever. Sometimes it's just kindanice to be nice. How could meeting someone new, smiling, doing a good deed andjust being an all 'round nice guy be a waste of time?

I used to getrequests for wire used in cheese slicers or piano wire for the removalof car windshields. You have to meet them ( if they show ) and you havebetter things to do. JMO Tom D. I'll send you a link off list toone of these places (who by the way charge more than our usual supplyhouse friends for the same stuff) -----Original Message ----- From: MarshallGisondi To: pianotech at ptg.org Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2012 9:01PM Subject: [pianotech] interesting request Hi Everyone, I received an interesting e-mailtoday. To me it's a strange request. This person wants to know if Ihave any piano wired that she can use to make jewelry, a pin to beexact. Is this a prank or is piano wire used for jewelry? If it is, Ican sell her a batch. What gauge would she need if in fact this issomething I have. I'd give it to her I guess, but this stuff wil costme if I have to buy a particular gauge again. What would I sell it forif I did sel lher some? /Thanks Marshall 215-510-9400 http://www.phillytuner.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
