<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Avery,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I agree with you. It's dificult to tune, but I tuned
a new piano that didn't hold well not too long agon. It's interesting I
must add. I wanted someone I met in our field to see how my tuning is
doing. I tuned for them, and it took me forever as usual.;) The
tuning was great. A week later, I tuned for them again, and they wanted me
to do two pianos. I did them in the same time frame The pins on these were
tight, stiff and I had to work hard with them. My unisons were "squirly"
as in someting that eats acorns? :) I'm not sure what they meant.
Anyway, I need to up my speed and somehow get past this awesoe tuning squirly
tuning swing and stay on a steady flow of awesome tunings. I usually get
the unisons in really well. Have you guys had this happen in the beginning of
your careers?</FONT></DIV>
