As a non Caut, ageing, partially sighted, hirsute tuner/tech, I find =
this thread....HILARIOUS !!!
Thank you all for reminding me of the  'warped' side of this 'strange' =
business.

I now return to the "lurk and learn"status.

  BR:

  "I smiled and thought, "This guy is really warped."

  That just made me nostalgic for Monty Python.  That was a pretty funny =
routine he came up with. :)

  When I first started tuning, people would often say "My son/daughter =
isn't home from high school yet."  So I grew a sparse beard.  Then they =
expressed reservations about their daughter or son hanging out with a =
hippie.

  Sometimes there's just no winning in this strange business :-).

      But my all time favorite was a Doctor -- yes, an MD, a college =
educated man -- who, when he found out what I did, said, "I thought you =
had to be blind to do that."

    I arrived to tune this guy's piano and one of the first things he =
said to me was when he was a child, the man who tuned his family's piano =
was blind, so as a child he thought all piano tuners were blind.  Then, =
of course, he discovered later that no, a person didn't need to be blind =
to be a piano tuner, but didn't I think it would be a fine Monty Python =
scene--John Cleese at the desk of a vocational school asking, "So, what =
do you want to be?"

    The unsuspecting would-be piano tuner would say "Why, I'd like to be =
a piano tuner, sir."

    "All right, please step into that room and your eyes will be plucked =
out....."


    I smiled and thought, "This guy is really warped."
