[CAUT] Piano Techs as Piano Movers?

[Andrew Anderson]

Got a flute professor pressuring my wife to tune the 
harpsichord.  She figures most harpsichordists tune their instrument 
so why shouldn't the contract piano accompanist tune the 
harpsichord?  I agreed with her that most harpsichordists do tune 
their harpsichords but than added that most made their harpsichord 
from a kit and knew all about re-stringing the harpsichord and how 
easy it is to break a string...

Go figure,
Andrew Anderson


It frequently takes more than one ugly fact to slay a beautiful theory.
