The worst piano I've tuned thus far

[Vinny Samarco]

Marshall,
I'm so glad you aere going to go to Emil Fries.  I was able to attend for 
four summers and also a few extra months.  It is a wonderful school with 
very dedicated staff.  If you are willing to work hard and keep a very open 
mind, you will not regret  going to the school.
