Terry,

The good news is that I haven't had the pleasure (sarcasm added) of  
tuning a spinet yet. I've been fortunate to have several high schools  
and churches (mostly grands, and a few uprights) in my database. Most  
of my private clients have grands, as well.  I'll consider myself  
warned! :-)
