Pulling my hair out (what's left of it anyway)

Tuning 4 pianos in one day... thats nothing !

I am working on, in the basement of my house, three, yes, three player 
piano rebuilds at the same time. One I'm finishing up for delivery next 
week. The second one came in last weekend, a Themodist reproducing 
player piano and, last but not least, my own P.A. Starck. Not only am I 
doing the complete player part but the piano actions as well.

So I've got to keep track of all the separate parts and where I'm at on 
each one. Thankfully, I decided to keep a note pad with each one.

And just remembered, with the I'm doing next week, needed: a pin 
treatment, setting and aligning new hammers, leveling keys, regulation 
and tuning - then - ready to start reassembling the complete player 
action. Normally not a big deal, however, on this one, the customer took 
everything out before I got there to take reference pictures of where 
hose and linkage connections were, now I've got to figure them out.

Not really complaining, mind you, just trying to figure out where to 
start today.

BTW, we need more player techs. On the other hand, here, at least, I'm 
getting all player tunings.

Now to start ...... somewhere .......
