Ya gotta Love IT

This weekend I made two people very happy

On Friday I worked for 2 hours prepping the D in our concert hall, in 
anticipation for Yafim Bronfman coming to play with the Tuscaloosa Symphony 
Orchestra. The time was spent fine tuning and voicing the new D. This 
afternoon I talked with Mr. Bronfmin, and he is very happy with the piano.

On Saturday I had an appointment in the backwoods of Alabama, where I worked 
on a 25 year Cable Nelson spinet, that hadn't been tuned for ever, with half 
the notes not playing, sitting on the front porch of a run down farm house. 
The owner asked if I could resurrect the piano so his grandson could play on 
it. I raised the pitch 153 cents, removed books, magazines and pictures from 
between the stickers, and a quarter from between two keys. At the end of the 
two hours, the instrument almost sound like a piano again. Maybe not on the 
level as the Steinway, but I made the grandfather very happy.

Two different instruments, two different levels of skills, but the same 
result.

That's what makes this profession so great.
