    I've have to second this. One of the high points in my career so far =
was when Steve Allen, playing with Paul (damn, I should remember his =
name, second piano) and a jazz ensemble remarked THREE TIMES how nice =
the pianos that I had prepped, sounded. From the stage!  One of the last =
performances he did, and I'm glad that my work made him happy. That was =
two Yamaha C7's tuned exactly together, voiced and regulated.  I was =
only there for the sound check, but they did seem to build upon each =
other's sound, because they were that perfectly in tune.=20

  Ya know, for every time someone tries to make you feel like a chump, =
there
  are glorious moments to take away the sting.

  I had a professional performer roll away the piano he had been
  playing--which had been freshly tooned by a competitor--in favor of
  finishing the concert on a little grand I had tuned three months =
prior. Or,
  another time, another church, the traveling gospel performer who =
exclaimed
  several times to the audience how wonderfully the piano sounded and
  played--after I'd spent a day on a very neglected instrument that =
hadn't
  been tuned in 4 years.

  Guess we wouldn't know what was sweet if we never tasted the sour!
