<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>I have been called to do what I would consider my first real concert
tuning. The pianist is Dino (well known in Christian circles) and the
piano will be a Yamaha C7 (I believe) that hasn't been tuned/serviced in at
least 3 years (church). I have already determined that I will approach
this in two stages spanning 2 days due to the limited amount of time available
on the day of the concert. I am planning to do a pitch-raise and as much
prep work as possible on day 1 and then return the next day (piano will be moved
a small distance of 4-5 ft. on the morning of day 2 after a graduation ceremony)
to retune and be present during the sound-check with the artist.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to receive advice regarding the sequence of concert work as
well as insight into the artist's expectations from any of you who might have
tuned for Dino.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks!</DIV><BR><BR>Rick Bazemore, RPT<BR>Social Circle,
