new piano

[Farrell]

When I started three years ago, I did floor tuning for a local dealer. Same
deal - $15 and zero extra for pitch raises - this was the guy that did not
believe in pitch raises - he would actually sell new and used pianos that
were easily a quarter-step flat. Couple months of that and I was
outtttaaathar!
