I like the zip lock idea.  As for a tool case, I'm using a breif case now, and that's not very helpful.  I put some graham crackers in a zip lock bag for a snack, and they were crumbs by the time I got home yesterday. :)  The case is too cramped, and lowes doesn't have a decent tool case. 

I was tuning my friends piano a couple of weeks ago, and his cat decided kto walk on the key bed while I was tuning and wanted to bother my open brief case.  I played some  notes and made him move by pushing the keys up.:)

Good advice, Debbie!  

When Mitsubishi first came to Bloomington/Normal, IL, I had a large number of Japanese customers.  I learned quickly that I was expected to stay for refreshments and conversation (broken English and lots of smiling and nodding).  Of course, everything was always good, though the strangest thing I sampled was a coffee gelatin.

The time that really proved how fast I could tune was when the homeowner's black lab parked himself under the piano bench.  He went to sleep and, um.....broke wind.  How long can you hold your breath?   :-)   Actually, I got up and talked to the owner, not saying anything about the <atmospheric conditions>, but suggested the dog find another place to snooze.  She got the dog to move--for a while.  Somehow he managed to find his way back to me.

  Ziplock bags - never tune without them!
