Not only do they tune each time they take it out, but they often tune <br>
whilst they are playing. BTDT. <br>

"Grand" spinet because all hammers were bobbling, dampers were oinking,
damper lift rod was broke, hammer butt was broke, several bass strings
were missing, bass bridge was cracked, bass bridge was tearing
soundboard apart at glue joint, frame/pinblock was separating, hammers
were deeply grooved, and pitch was a full step flat. I think that was
all.<span class="843190602-14012005">"</span></font></div>

for my area. Well, just kidding, but SOME days it seems like it. I
suggested to one fellow that he let me put his beloved 60's P.A. Stark
spinet to sleep and he asked if there was any chance it was still under
warranty. </span></font></div>

are the guys who play a guitar or violin or something--that they tune
every time they pick up--and can't understand why you think their piano
needs tuning. After all, their grandfather had it tuned when he brought
it home (and the delivery wagon WAS did have the canvas cover on to
keep out most of the rain).</span></font></div>
