In a message dated 98-12-21 22:30:50 EST, you write: << I am a hobbyist/amateur technician and would welcome some advise from the professionals. I recently volunteered (due to budget problems, the school board won't even pay for tunings) to recondition a "studio" piano for the local high school. >> After you have fixed the problem, I would like to suggest you get a hold of the video Yamaha put out explaining how music improves learning in children. Perhaps after they view the video, they'll want to spend the money on not only tuning the pianos, but perhaps getter a new one for the band room. I'd get on a band wagon here, but it would be like preaching to the choir. Willem Blees
