What made this even more difficult, is that I had one of my tuners help, so I had to put a piano on a dolly, move it to another room, tune it, (most of them were 20 - 40 cents low), and move it back. These were all Samick consoles. The first day I started at 9 Am, and finished about 6. The only reason I quit at that time is because I had to go to a PTG meeting. The next day I started at 10, and had to finish by 4, when the doors opened. Between the two of us we tuned aobut 40 piano.
