Terry Farrell ----- Original Message -----=20 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!
