<DIV><FONT face=Arial>About ten years ago, I got a panicky call from a client
living an hour's drive away.... their daughter was getting married at home on
Christmas Day!!! And, no one had thought of having the piano tuned. The poor old
thing was about 60 cents flat and not a very good instrument at its best. What
was most surprising was that this was a professional musical family, with a
recording studio in their basement and quite a reputation in the area for doing
good work. I gifted the pitch raise part as a Christmas/Wedding gift and felt
good that I had helped make their special day a bit nicer. </FONT></DIV>
