This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Hey Dave, I just finished installing Wurzen punchings, regulating (plus doing the = prep that had never been done) tuning and voicing a 9 year old Steinway = B. Man, I worked as fast as I could and it was still a 3 day job = (insert Gershwin tune here--nice work if you can get it). Spilled my = box of punchings again (no, that wasn't part of the three days' work). = The pianist, a university piano professor, was <extremely> pleased (I = got a triple digit tip, too!). Not only did I replace the soft = punchings, but there must have been a shortage of card punchings when = this piano's keys first got leveled and the dip set. There were tons of = blue and green paper punchings--another source of the spongy feel, = though I must admit, the colors looked pretty. I quickly went through = my on hand supply of thick card punchings replacing the blues and = greens. I had just enough! This has taught me to carry extra bags of = card punchings on regulation jobs. BTW, leveling the strings on this piano was a lot easier than the last = piano I did--maybe I've gotten stronger. :-) I love doing this kind of work. Have fun!

Even = though the previous punchings weren't so soggy feeling, the Wurzens feel = so much more positive.

If anyone feels inclined to check out my in-the-works website, (link = below), any input, ideas, feeback, or flaming is welcome!
