<WBR>Funny, I don't see my suggestions.  (I am a tuner too).  2 keys missing hammers, 6 (make it 5 or any number) coats of paint (the piano was painted shut, and the maid had to pry off the paint with a screwdriver to get it open for tuning).  Yesterday I sent in these two.  Thanks, or Mahalo, as we say here in Hawaii.  <br> Janet Blees, Wim's wife.<br> <br> <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT<br> Piano Tuner/Technician<br> Honolulu, HI<br> Author of <br> The Business of Piano Tuning<br> available from Potter Press<br> www.pianotuning.com</div> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: Michael Magness <IFixPianos@yahoo.com><br> To: Pianotech List <pianotech@ptg.org><br> Sent: Mon, 3 Dec 2007 5:20 am<br> Subject: Re: On the 3rd Day of December<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_8c5bba85-92ab-47e5-b58e-199c00b0de1a><br> <br> <div class=gmail_quote>On Dec 3, 2007 6:10 AM, Conrad Hoffsommer <<A href="mailto:hoffsoco@luther.edu">hoffsoco@luther.edu</A>> wrote:<br> <BLOCKQUOTE class=gmail_quote style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid"> <div class=Ih2E3d>Larry Trischetta wrote:<br> > I told you it could get ugly...
