What do you play after you've tuned the piano?

[pianolady50@peoplepc.com]

Hi and welcome!

As others have said - I check with runs of octaves and double octaves.  Then
I play ragtime.  Always Joplin.  Almost every customer has heard "The
Entertainer".  But first I play "Weeping Willow Rag", "Magnetic Rag", and/
or "Swipesy".  It peaks their curiosity to ask about the music.  I like it
as I tune by fourths and fifths, so with ragtime I can listen to a pile of
thirds, sixths, and octaves!
