How to make sure piano's "stable" after tuning!

<<I'm guessing that your voice is probably somewhere between an alto and a 
mezzosoprano.   Or are you the tallest soprano in your church choir?>>


Haha, a common misnomer! Just like extreme BMX or mountain bicycling, we 
stand on, and put *all* the weight on the pedals, not the saddle. These 
purpose-built unicycles, both MUni (mountain unicycle) and trials unis have 
super strong splined hubs and cranks, double walled rims....strong enough 
for 8 foot drops time after time.

My drop record is about 5 feet so far, and believe me that's BIG! My 
particular MUni, is a 2007 Kris Holm that goes for $575, which doesn't 
include the magura hydraulic brakes ($179) "Drillium" pedals ($100) 24x3 
gazzolddi downhill tire ($79) and a hope quick release seatpost clamp, 
another $30. The total is still a fraction of what a high end mountain bike 
goes for.

I winced on some of those landings.  I'm guessing that your voice is 
probably somewhere between an alto and a mezzosoprano.   Or are you the 
tallest soprano in your church choir?

   Haha thanks, yeah I've made about 65 "extreme" unicycling videos, and the
last 12 or so have been my new "Uni Geezer" series, which has become pretty
popular. This video is the only one that has a piano in it...so far!

You are one crazy piano tuner! Nice video! Enjoyed it, although not
realizing that was actually you on the unicycle, I couldn't imagine how this
was going to end up having anything to do with pianos!

First I make a pretty thorough investigation to try to find loose parts (and
pictures on the wall). If that fails to turn anything up I'll treat the ribs
and rim with thin CA glue. That almost always does the trick.
