<div><br/></div>Oh, for your edification, I strongly recommended the lady write to Ron, whose work and opinions i value highly. I would be very please if she did so. No the "other guy" did not file or voice the hammers, nor did he touch the really bad regulation, just did a horrible tuning. So thanks for your friendly repast, your support for a toooner with a very good reputation for high quality work and integrity- but I suppose no one checked my web site to find what other significant musicians have felt about it. Nah- it's not worth it. Why mess up perfectly set opinions.<br/><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.bartlettpianoservice.com/">www.bartlettpianoservice.com</a>. Any positive things in there have to be lies or accidents, for sure.<br/>thanks again<br/>lb<br/><br/>David Ilvedson wrote:

<pre>Yeah, I don't see the ruining the pianos part either...but Les's partner in crime might really like file new hammers to get the voicing right...
Ron, did you take your pill today?

<pre>I have gone to great pains to educate the pianist at
this church, and she's getting all these posts. I wrote her a nasty note
yesterday which resulted in a long conversation about, well the director
is new, and there are this and that, and so forth. I said to her, "It's
time to poopoo or get off the pot, because you are about to get an
instrument at $100K plus and two seven foot instruments, and you know
more than 90%of the performing artists about a piano, so the time is now
to get off your butt and get this resolved because you're going to ruin
three brand new instruments with this 'share the wealth' policy."

<pre>Concept alert! Ruin!!?? Hold on here. Do I understand this
right, that you are trying to sell the concept that having
techs other than you tuning the pianos will ruin them??? Just
who the Hell do you think you are that anyone else other than
you tuning these pianos will "ruin" them? I've seen a lot of
ego fired into the sky on this list, expecting a celestial
display with an indeterminate powder charge, but this is
asking a whole lot! Les, get real!
