Some Days are Grand, Some are Bad

Some tuning days are three well maintained Yamaha grands, a nice Steinway grand and a decent Bechstein grand. Then other days are like today - a bad Winter spinet, a bad Kohler & Campbell spinet, a bad Kimball spinet, and a bad Currier spinet, and of course, all needing pitch raises.

It's disappointing to work on a piano (or there abouts) for a couple hours, then you give it a little test run and it really sounds bad ............... quite a bit less bad than before tuning, but still bad. And three of these were in gated VERY affluent communities. BIG $$ homes, two new SUVs in driveway, zillions of $s of sports equipment falling out of the garage, all new furniture, monster home theatre, marble kitchen counters, fancy home office, top-notch home gym ............. and a $200 spinet for the kids to learn piano on.

I'm sure most of you see the same thing.

Well, enough whining. Thanks, that helped.
