Went to tune the piano in question, found it to be a 3 or 4 year old D.H.Baldwin 5' (or less) grand in good condition. The temperament was not a problem, but the unisons were extremely out-almost every third note. They were very noticeable. The school told me the tuner tuned it in one-half an hour the first time and when called back to correct it, angrily spend 20 minutes on it. Can a piano be tuned in one-half an hour? (Not by me) They were more interested in getting the piano sounding good again than punishing the previous tuner, so we skipped the pointing of fingers. I tuned the piano as best I could, made appointments to tune their other pianos and hopefully gained a permanent customer. Phil Ryan
