A good piano day

[piannaman at aol.com]

Every once in awhile, we have a day when all of the pianos are quality instruments, the customers are incredibly nice, there are no snafus to throw off a really busy schedule, and driving is minimal.  
 
Yesterday was one of those lucky days for me.  I had 5 jobs, not a one of them more than 5 miles from my home:  A Steinway L, Boston up 118, Seiler 186 (brand new), Kawai RX 2 grand, and Kawai K50 upright.  All of the pianos needed a partial pitch raise, except for the Boston--I last tuned it about 5 years ago--which was right at pitch.  
 
It was a 10 1/2 hour day, but it was far easier than a day with one decaying old upright or elbow-breaking Winter spinet.  
 
For those of us who might be struggling to get their business off the ground, hang in there.  The rewards can be well worth it.
 
I am so grateful not to be chained to a cubicle!
