This past Saturday I had my first meeting with a beautifully redone 1920 "O". Very nice instrument, in a very nice new house, with a very nice view overlooking the Mississippi from atop a 400' bluff. Camera(s) will come out next time (foggy rain this time). It has gotten to needing regulation, but the noise problem the customer wanted me to check out turns out to be chugging keys. I've got the Onesti key repair kit and have done two pianos here at school with great success. (i.e. I like the kit.) The only problem is that my work on the keys was interrupted so many times that I really don't have a handle on the time I spent on it. Anybody wanna give a ballpark time so's I can estimate to the owner just how much a ticket to the game might be?
