Friends,
<p>A church client received as a donation a 1995 Steinway model 1098, and
in November 1998 I got to tune it for the first time and have been caring
for it since. Knowing that this piano had a reputation of being difficult
to tune, I encouraged them to buy a complete Dampp-Chaser system, and they
did. Since then the changes I need to make during tuning are small,
and the piano doesn't sound crappy between tunings, the way it did before
the system was installed.
<p>Regards, Clyde
