<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello MIchelle,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sounds like you nailed this one very well.
Congratulations!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You will learn, with time, to tune WITH the fans on
- during the summer. If you are anything like me - 80% of the homes I do
service work in, IMHO, are HOT! You can learn to ignore the fan wah, wah, wah
and only hear the string wah, wah, wah.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have one regular customer with two grand pianos
in her 130 year old living room. No air conditioning there either. She did put
in 'lectricity and indoor plumbing back in the '40s. I see her in November and
again in March for tuning. January or February for any serious
work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Her pianos are remarkably stable. No humidity
control what-so-ever. Simply amazing.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Hi all. I wanted to tell you
about my very first tuning for pay. It was for a music teacher friend
who lives in an old farmhouse here in <st1:place w:st="on">Central
Texas</st1:place>. She said I might want to come early in the day
because she has <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">no air
conditioning</SPAN></B>! So I get there about 9:00 and it’s pretty
pleasant. She has the windows open and the fans running. I learned
very quickly that the fans were going to have to be turned off (wah, wah,
wah…). By the time I finished it was nice and toasty. (Read
sweating like a pig.) =)<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

wondering what kind of shape this poor Baldwin Console was in with our

weather. Would you believe that the bass was a little flat, the treble
quite a bit sharp, and the center was almost dead on?! It hasn’t been
tuned in years. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
