<div>I raised the question a few weeks back how to most effieciently go about a Concert Tuning for a Dino concert - here's how it went:</div> <div> </div> <div>At first, the piano was to be a Yamaha C7 that hadn't been touched in 3-5 years. The next week I was told by the church music director that they had decided to rent a Steinway Concert D rather than using the C7 - "Whew! big relief". So, I go ahead with original plans to tune once on Friday (which was now unnecessary) and then returned on Saturday to retune after high school graduation ceremony ending at 3:45 PM (Dino's sound check was scheduled at 4 PM). Soon got word that Dino had decided to let his support staff handle the sound check and that I could use the time from 4-6 PM to work on the piano, so I just decided to retune since some of the unisons had drifted. Turns out that Dino did not even touch the piano until the first number of his concert. I stayed for the entire event
and the tuning held very well in spite of his very aggressive playing. Several folks around me learned I was the "tuner" and some even complimented me on my work. So, I count the whole event a success and now will be less nervous next time a concert tuning opportunity comes my way.</div> <div> </div> <div>Thanks to those of you who gave advice and suggesstions, your input is always appreciated with this "now-not-so-new-newbie".</div> <div> </div> <div> </div><BR><BR>Rick Bazemore, RPT<br>Social Circle, GA<br>www.pianosintune.com<p>
