Hi all,

I used to be very careful not to make any permenant marks inside a
piano--until I found that the first thing most dealers in my area do is
remove service record stickers.

I feel that the tuning and repair history which is sometimes several
lifetimes is valueable to me as a tuner and of interest to future owners. So
I now careful use a pen on the keys to record the history.

>Look at that!  Isn't that interesting!"  They see it as a bit of history
>that adds color to the instrument.

>Oh well.  It's not my piano.
