<div>In my 27 years as a field technician, I've been asked to "tune the guitar" many times--maybe a few dozen. I've also been asked if I fix violins! Being that I used to play the guitar, I always agree to tune the kid's guitar, but I tell them beforehand that I'm not responsible for a string breaking. I wonder how many of my fellow technicians have thrown in a free guitar tuning along with the piano tuning. </div>
