Leave a note for the pastor, perhaps, tell them who you are, what you are doing in their basement (what ARE you doing in their basement), and the nature of the problem. Suggest that they have their tuner take a look or that you, bright young lad that you are, would be delighted to do so.</p> <p>What can it hoyt? Who could possibly be bothered or offended? Ask the pastor if he has a cute daughter who has a thing for piano playing tuners. One must be bald if one wants to get a head, trust me on this.</p> <p>But remember: Heck is a place for people who don't believe in Gosh. And don't be like that dyslexic devil worshiper who sold his soul to Santa!<br /><br />Alan Barnard<br />Salem, MO<br /><br /></p> <div style="padding-right: 5px; padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; border-left: #000000 3px solid; padding-top: 5px"> <hr />Original message<br />From: "Matthew Todd" <toddpianoworks@yahoo.com></toddpianoworks@yahoo.com><br />To: pianotech@ptg.org<br />Received: 9/10/2007 11:07:21 PM<br />Subject: Proper Procedure<br /><br /> <div align="left">Hello everyone,</div> <div></div> <div>I am the pianist for a broadway musical in the town where I live.  We are meeting for rehearsals at a local Methodist church.  Anyway, on one of the keys on the piano there is definitely missing the front rail bushing.  Everytime I play the note, I hear "clunk".</div> <div></div> <div>What do you all suggest the proper procedure would be to get in touch with someone about having it fixed?  Should I just try and make a phone call over there one day and explain the situation, and see if I can come over to repair the problem?  Or maybe leave a note on the piano in hopes that the pianist gets it.</div> <div></div> <div></div> <div>Thanks guys</div> <div>Matthew</div> <p></p> <hr size="1" />Catch up on <a href="http://us.rd.yahoo.com/tv/mail/tagline/falltv/evt=47093/*http://tv.yahoo.com/collections/3658">fall's hot new shows</a> on Yahoo!
