Miss Hall’s School, 5.24 p.m.
There was only one hitch to the new schedule: Barista #2 showed up extra late, and barely had the doors open at 7.00, but no coffee ready to go. So, off I went to work, and made a cup for myself at home over lunch. Their loss.
A good day today, with tuning accomplished on four pianos plus some sostenuto mechanism work on two others. This seems to be my lot here – regulating out-of-whack sostenuto systems; seems they find me more often than the others. I joked with SC at our daily meeting that he might be traveling around messing with the pianos before I get there, so as to give me the experience. “Planting the sostenuto bomb” is my phrase for it. It’s a complicated little beastie, especially on Steinways, and not something I’m likely to run into often in the field, but still good to know how to deal with it.
The PotD – the Hamburg D from the Shed, a truly remarkable piano:
