As a non-professional, I can tell you that when a customer hears her piano p= layed by someone who has just finished tuning it, and hears the sound bounce= around the house of a tune that is part of the technicians toolbox, it just= feels and sounds so neat to hear - how do you pick 'em? Which one do you us= e? And if there is a reason - why? :) Dorie </BLOCKQUOTE> You mean there are piano tuners who play a "tune" when they're done. Wow, wh= at a concept. Just kidding. I don't play the piano, and I have a great respect for those t= hat do. And we've got some excellent piano players in our midst. I just play a few chords and arpeggios. I have developed quite a skill at "n= oodling," enough so that customers think I really know how to play. Wim </HTML>
