concert

[Diane Hofstetter]

Hi Les,

  I have tuned for them numerous times.  They invariably come to talk with 
me if they are around while I'm tuning and always express appreciation for 
my work.  I just do a solid equal temperament for their concert and try to 
keep the pianos in good shape all the time.

  One problem I have in tuning for their concert and others in the series 
they play in is that the auditorium where the concerts take place is a very 
old building, with no insulation, at a Christian conference center which was 
originally only used in summertime.  Thus the temperature and humidity 
fluctuate wildly during the day so we have worked out that the conference 
center mainentance crews leave the heat on starting the day before the 
concert and I tune the pianos as close to concert time the night before as 
possible.

  Diane
