[pianotech] interesting request

[Joseph Giandalone]

I still have (and use) a nice cheese cutter (no jokes now) that was given me decades ago, in thanks for my aid in getting the right wire for them. Also a whirligig (don't ask).

I've done this many times - for windshields, cleaning carburetors, a loom, etc., etc. It can be kinda fun - you get to meet someone doing something different than what you do - and hey, maybe they have a piano - or know someone that does - or maybe they'll tell someone about their experience with you and they tell someone who has a piano - or whatever. Sometimes it's just kinda nice to be nice.

>>  Give her the # of one of those resellers . This kind of thing is a waste of time. I used to get requests for wire used in cheese slicers or piano wire for the removal of car windshields. You have to meet them ( if they show ) and you have better things to do.

>> Hi Everyone,
>> I received an interesting e-mail today. To me it's a strange request.  This person wants to know if I have any piano wired that she can  use to make jewelry, a pin to be exact.  Is this a prank or is piano wire used for jewelry?  If it is, I can sell her a batch.  What gauge would she need if in fact this is something I have.  I'd give it to her I guess, but this stuff wil cost me if I have to buy a particular gauge again.  What would I sell it for if I did sel lher some? /Thanks
