Re: Bösendorfer Rim

Terry,

My only "real" problem was with a relatively new 
one I took care of while still living in San 
Angelo, TX. Every time I was called to tune it 
(app. 2-3 times a year), I had to do either a 
pitch raise or a pitch lowering job. I checked 
everything I could think of but could find no 
problem. Even talked to Roger with Bösendorfer.

I finally asked the customer if he had a climate 
control system in his air-conditioning system. He 
said yes and I asked how long it'd been since it 
had been checked out. A long time, so he did. It 
wasn't working. Once it was, I had no more tuning problems with it at all.
