---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment HI Barbara, Sure is nice to get a break from 4-6 tunings a day and still get well paid! I bet the piano feels and plays great. I like the positive feel at the bottom of the keystroke. Dave In a message dated 12/13/2005 12:53:32 A.M.

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!
