tuner arrived in a very loud, very beat up truck that leaked oil all =
over the
driveway. He came in wearing shabby work clothes that judging from =
the
smell had not been washed for a week and were probably slept in the =
night
before. His personal hygiene was such that the lady of the house =
had to
use her dish towel to breathe and left the room quickly after showing =
him to the
piano. For three hours after he left, the room smelled of him even =
with
all the windows and doors open. Of course the open windows changed the
temperature in the piano drastically. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

tool box was huge and metal. It was so big and heavy that he =
seemed to
have trouble carrying it and left several dents in furniture in the path =
from
front door to piano. His box was placed on the ivory carpet and =
when he
left it left several spots. When he picked it up to go it pulled a =
long
piece of yarn out of the carpet. When he put his tools on the =
piano he
left several scratches on the piano case. While tuning, he knocked =
several
spots into the gold plate that are now black. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

he replaced that string that has been gone for several years, there is =
something
different about it. It does not look like the ones around =
it. It
wraps around the tuning peg real funny. There is a little sharp =
piece of
piano string that sticks out of two of those tuning pegs now. The =
wire on
all the others is all going around the pin and bunched together, but his =
new one
has the wire crossing itself and all spread out.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
