Marshall, I happened to notice your URL at the bottom of your post and took a look at your website. It is really well done! It has enough technical information to introduce some of the pertinent issues to the potential client, but not so much as to make them glaze over. And it has the touch of a genuine human being who has considered things himself, from his own point of view, and from the client's. I like it. Diane PS. Time to add another blog posting. And maybe allow other's to post on the blog too, I would have. Diane Diane Hofstetter From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Marshall Gisondi Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 8:42 PM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] question about a yamaha Hi Everyone, Last Friday I tuned a Yamaha U3 for a customer who also has a Wurlitzer spinet. This family acquired her father's Yamaha and later acquired the Wurlitzer. I called them to discuss something unrelated to the pianos. When I talked with them, she said that the piano sounded muffled when she played it. When I was there, I checked the sustanuto pedal, and the little rubber ends that touch the tray were not grabbing or binding. I wouldn't think that this would cause it to sound muffled. She has this cover on top of the piano that is decrative and the corners are like a fitted sheet to a bed. She said the tuning was great. I'm guessing that it was the cover on top of the piano or the difference between the two pianos that she's not used to. She rarely plays the Yamaha because it is down stairs in the family room rather than in their main living area. Does this sound right to you guys? I'm certain I didn't leave a temperament strip in the piano lol. I think it's the difference in pianos plus having it tuned puts everything in right relationship and she's probably not used to it being tuned. Thanks everyone and have a great Christmas in case I forget to mention it.
