We had a friend who flew those planes. We sold our piano last year when we retired. I had it professionally tuned after each of our moves, and there were many.

He sang bass in a quartet and led music in our church. Since our move from Texas to Colorado, our Kimball Spinet sounds tiney and off-key. I've put off having it tuned, but your post has inspired me to get it done. Thanks!Linda Farmer Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312511857601369355noreply@blogger.com
