<html> <body> Dave, <x-tab>        </x-tab>I've had pianos like this in the past. One in particular comes to mind that was parked in front of a window with afternoon exposure. It got cooked in the afternoon and sounded awful but by morning it was fine again. Took me a few visits to figure it out. The last visit was .... you guessed it .... in the afternoon.

Nothing appeared out of the ordinary and everything went just fine. When I was done they loved how much better it sounded and considering the piano, I thought it came out better than expected.   Today I get a call from them that the piano sounded great yesterday, but when they played it this morning, it sounded so out of tune that they thought that they were playing the wrong keys. I thought she was exagerating until I had her play it over the phone. It is clear that something catastrophic occured during the night. Either a broken plate or bridge, I would say.   I'm going over in a few days to see whats going on. They seem like nice folks but I got to wondering if they are going to blame this on me. While bringing it up to pitch may have pushed something over the edge, everything I did was standard procedure. Has anyone been charged with piano slaughter? I'm trying to think of how to put the best spin on a bad situation.   Dave Bunch --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (<a href="http://www.grisoft.com/" eudora="autourl">http://www.grisoft.com</a>).
