We had a family getaway down in Hocking Hills. A beautiful area with many wonderful trails to hike! Our cabin had a hot tub and grill. Janeen grilled some delicious porterhouse steaks our first night!

I just repaired an upright studio Piano. It was strange, because the screws holding the sustain pedal in place had been ripped out! I was able to repair it by replacing those screws with some that were somewhat larger. Someone must’ve been really stomping on the sustain pedal! Thankfully they were pleased with my work.

Tuned and repaired a piano at the Turkeyfoot Island club in Akron on the portage Lakes. The piano held its tune well, but several hammers in the top treble were very slow or not repeating at all. We had to remove the action and replace several hammer fl**ge pins with smaller ones as well as lubricate liberally with Proteck. That solved the problem.

Spent three hours on a petite baby grand piano Friday. Movers had dropped it and the keys were all out of position. I had to remove the action, take the hammers off the keys and reposition all the keys and then put the whole action back in the piano.My customers thought their piano have been killed. However I was able to bring it back to life and they said I was a miracle worker! Always feels great to make people happy about their piano!

Just tuned a Story and Clark console piano that had all the keys of the top octave blocked. In checking the piano action I found a pen, a pencil and a small paint brush had become stuck underneath the action at the back of those keys. Love those easy fixes! So do the customers!

Just repaired 106 year old Schumaker upright piano. It had a broken hammer right at middle C. Also, several keys were not working. I found several coins under those keys and one was from Hong Kong. The owners of the piano are inveterate travelers and have visited over 50 countries. I meet some very interesting people in my line of work!

Recently tuned and repaired an old antique upright piano. I was able to remove the entire action and reglue parts, called jacks, that push up the hammers when the keys are played. The jacks had fallen out of position and were not able to push up the hammers.
