Pounding tuning pins.

[Brian Trout]

Good morning, Ed.

Every time I think I've figured out just how bad a piano 'untouched by a
tuning for a decade' will be, it'll surprise me.

I had a 30 year old no name console that I had to tune a while back.  They
said no one had touched it in at least 8 or 9 years.  I expected to have to
go through this thing 2 or 3 times just to make it playable.  The thing was
within 10 cents over the whole keyboard.  I couldn't believe it.

Sometimes things actually go better than expected.   :-)

I hope yours does too, Ed.

Have a good day.
