And a fourth time, when the customer walks you out to the car. I'm usually already late when that happens. Hee he.

And a fifth time, when you have to roll up the window and leave them talking.

Not ever really happened to me, but once I had a lady, someone who was shut in, and never got to talk to people that much. She sat beside me just about the whole time...Yap, Yap Yap. I really felt sorry for her. But I finally had to just ignore her and get on with the tuning. I thought maybe she would get the message after a while. But Noooo...Yap Yap Yap...I thought I'd never get away from that place.

I think all tuners must have proper training on how to politely tell the customer "SHUT UP! I need to work NOW."

You gotta be a tooner if

You build your own dummy tuning block with different pin torque to work-out like a gym during your off days........


wah hahaha.......

... if when asked about Voicing, you explained that all teenage boys go through it, that important thing is to not embarrass them.

If you think a back check is something you are doing while skating towards your own net………..

if you think a center pin is the one right in the middle when you are bowling…………..

... if you found an agricultural use for discarded pianos.

when you apply thick automotive grease on the centre pin to make the key feels heavier

when you deliberately mis-align the hammer to get a more complex tone (steinway nausal)

... if you schedule as many tunings as possible for the last week in June to prepare for the Annual Beer and Baloney Arm Wrestling Championship on the Fourth of July.

and you specially choose those korean pianos for their championship super duper torque

.....if you think a whippen is something you used to get in school

... if you think Professional Decorum is what the Bank has your cousin do to their big pine tree for Christmas each year.

if you cross your fingers as you enter your client's house hoping you won't encounter a spinet.

if you adjusted all the lost motion and finds out............ the rest rail wasn't flat to begin with .... aiyaya

And a sixth time, after you realize you left without getting the check....
