---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment List, I recently did a warranty tuning for a store I've been connected with for over 15 years. It was an older Kawai upright in a rehearsal room at a church not far from my house. I didn't think much about it, though the piano did have quite a pleasing sound. I tuned it and left. The church has apparently used another tuner for quite awhile, so I figured that would be the last of my connection with them. I got a call about a week later from a gentleman who is affiliated with the church as a musical director of some sort asking if I could come by his house and tune is Schimmel grand. In a thick german accent, he stated that he really liked my tuning. I made an appointment, and two weeks later went to his house, where I tuned his 6' + grand. Two days later I got a call from him asking if I'd come by and tune the piano in the sanctuary for an upcoming concert. We made a date for this weekend. Both the gentleman and his wife--who was my original contact at the church--are involved in the music scene at this particular church, as well as another one not far away. They have many friends who have pianos to whom they plan to recommend me. All this from one little "warranty" tuning that I almost turned down! The moral of the story: ANY tuning you do can be a calling card, either good or bad. If you set your hammer to a pin, be ready to do the best job you can do! You never know who might be listening. Happy tuning from sunny(and hot) CA, Dave Stahl ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
