I have to second your experience Mike. I have the same problem. Usually the profs will want me to take the pitch down even before the pitch has come down after about 2 weeks of the systems being plugged back. Then, I have to raise the pitch again. So now, I refuse to lower the pitch after the summer vacations on the pianos that I find unplugged. I explain to them that "budget wise", it's much better for them to suffer for 2 or 3 weeks and that the pianos will be much more stable if I wait for the system to do it's job. I now send schools a reminder mid august asking them to make a round and make sure that all systems are plugged in. This has worked a little.

The piano is an object to get out of their way so they can wash, wax or shampoo the carpet depending on whether it is har surfaced or carpeted. So it gets rolled into the hallway while this is happening then back into the room and left unplugged. I have tried posting signs on them and other tricks to get them to keep them plugged in and nothing has worked. > If you have something that does I'd love to hear it! > > Mike > > > -- > The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution. > - Bertrand Russell > > Michael Magness > Magness Piano Service > 608-786-4404 > www.IFixPianos.com > email mike at ifixpianos.com _________________________________________________________________ Semez l’amour par installez 30 émoticônes gratuite pour Messenger.
