Hi Steve, Roger and anyone else who responded. thanks so much. I am of the theory too that a better piano will better suit these folks. The person with the old upright Harrington is the mother of my customer who owns a new Pramberger she purchased from a local college. She only lives a block away, so why couldn't this little guy come over there to his aunts hosue and practice on the pramberger and play with his cousins too. I did mention to her mother that even if I did tune this piano , it would definitely sound like a tuned tone dead piano in the bass especially, dead dead dead in the single wound strings. So I think I'm going to adivse them that I can help them find a decent inexpensive piano some how and they should put him on the Pramberger until they do find something. To me tuning is one thing but I look at the entire piano even after it's tuned. Bad still is bad even if the bad is tuned :-) Have a great night Marshall Marshall Gisondi Piano Technician Marshall's Piano Service pianotune05 at hotmail.com 215-510-9400 www.phillytuner.com Graduate of The School of Piano Technology for the Blind www.pianotuningschool.org Vancouver, WA -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
