<div>Wow, Conrad, you live in a different neck o' d woods for sure. The only pianos I get that go that far south are brand new ones owned by customers that have been de-educated by salesfolk to think that one tuning a year is adequate for their new investment(..and I've been blamed more than once for a new piano not holding its tune).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are your victims oldies or new pianners? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Young Fang....I kinda like the sound of that.</div>

The two I did yesterday: Yam P22@437Hz, Young Fang U121@435 - and I'd tuned them both in September. Some notes as far as 45ยข flat on Yammie. <br>
50+ on YC. <br>

Driving through almost whiteout conditions on the way home wasn't quite as much fun, though. <br>
