there's NO business like NO business

Taxes is right. I make calls but at this time of year I seem to get a
lot of "call me later" responses.

The biggest problem with this business, IMHO, is that most people--even
musicians (especially church pianists) and music teachers--cannot tell
and/or do not care when the piano is out of tune! I swear, if everyone
were as fussy as I am about it, we'd be doing monthly tunings. I can't
stand the sound of whiny-wah-wah unisons or throbbing octaves. Even
before I got in the tuning biz I KNOW this bothered more than it bothers
roughly 95.46372 percent of my customers.

And I don't EVEN want to revive the thread on the "once every 19 years"
crowd. They should be barred by the SPCPPT* from even having pianos or
any other musical pets.

Tom,
It seems like every year about this time someone has asked this same
question.  My experience through the years is that taxes and Spring
vacations slow down the calls.  As soon as people get over the shock of
taxes, or get some refunds, the phone will start ringing again.  Don't
despair...it will get better.
