<DIV><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I like the zip lock idea. As for a tool case, I'm using a breif case now, and that's not very helpful. I put some graham crackers in a zip lock bag for a snack, and they were crumbs by the time I got home yesterday. :) The case is too cramped, and lowes doesn't have a decent tool case. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I was tuning my friends piano a couple of weeks ago, and his cat decided kto walk on the key bed while I was tuning and wanted to bother my open brief case. I played some notes and made him move by pushing the keys up.:) </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When Mitsubishi first came to Bloomington/Normal, IL, I had a large number of Japanese customers. I learned quickly that I was expected to stay for refreshments and conversation (broken English and lots of smiling and nodding). Of course, everything was always good, though the strangest thing I sampled was a coffee gelatin.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The time that really proved how fast I could tune was when the homeowner's black lab parked himself under the piano bench. He went to sleep and, um.....broke wind. How long can you hold your breath? :-) Actually, I got up and talked to the owner, not saying anything about the <atmospheric conditions>, but suggested the dog find another place to snooze. She got the dog to move--for a while. Somehow he managed to find his way back to me. </FONT></DIV>
