Tuning a cheapo asian grand in a living room that looked like an exhibit  
hall in the louvre, with white french provinicial furniture, 30 foot ceilings,  
and a marble floor wasn't that fun.  In fact, I've had nightmare fantasies  
about this very thing.  Sort of like if you were tuning a piano in that  scene 
where the starchild is born in "2001, a Space Odyssey."  The echoes  were nearly 
impossible to distinguish from the beats in the unisons.  But  it WAS a 
unique environment to be sure.
 
>From there, it was on to theCapital Club, on the 17th floor of that  bastion 
of Conservatism, the Knight-Ridder Building in downtown San Jose, where  I 
replaced a string, tuned, and gave an estimate for an action bracket  replacement 
on a Young Chang 157(the estimate was NOT low!).  Watching the  planes arrive 
and depart from the nearby airport was quite a trip!
 
Seldom is the day when I don't have something interesting to offer my wife  
in the way of dinner table conversation!  (at least I think it's  
intersting...:-)
 
As Bill Ballard says, may life give you interesting pianos,
(and, I'll add, interesting situations in which to tune them!)
