Yeah, isn't that something? Another DYI'er that thinks it sounds great! To that, I say "marvelous,just marvelous..." There's a joke in those words that I'll tell you. Perhaps you've already heard it. It goes something like this.
Mable who is a renowned liar was telling her friend about all the new stuff she bought. "I just bought me a brand new Caddy!" Well, that's marvelous, just marvelous! "And, I bought me a brand new 5 carrot diamond ring!" Well, that's just marvelous, just marvelous! "And, I went on a $15,000 luxury cruise!" Well, that's just marvelous, just marvelous!" Finally, Mable asks her friend, "how come to everything I say, you answer with marvelous, that's just marvelous?" Well, her friend responded, my new shrink was telling me that I should be more polite and say, that's just marvelous, just marvelous instead of BULLLLSHIIIIIIITTTT!

You are a tooner when...
You open up a piano and find a bag of pot behind the kick panel. You leave it there and say nothing to the customer.
When you open up the piano bench to tighten screws and find how should we say, other items instead of music.
When the customer has a big bowl of errr....other items on the table next to the piano. Safe parties are the rule there....

Maybe you are a Tooner when...
You read all these grand DIY'ER tuning odessies. These superhero adventures upon the story seas of piano tuning, when they arrive upon the sunny shores of fine piano tuning, and they made the journey in only one crossing!!!
Alas!!! Tis such a shame the rest of us are not of such genius!!! We must work and strive, and strive and work through years to toil,to attain such magnificance.
Somebody pass me a napkin, the BULLLLSHITTTTT is dripping off my nose!!!!!!!

Maybe you are a Tooner when:
You are tuning in establishments e.g. hotels, schools, restaurants etc. and curious employees approach you and ask "how much is the worth of this piano?"
