I loved your piano tuning videos. I loved watching the piano tuner come in and tune our piano. The workings are fascinating and so intricate. I loved showing my kids how a piano actually works. Im still fascinated with it.
What fascinates me most about how a piano works, is that by 1890s the tape check action was fully developed, and it's the same system in a modern upright today.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun I had an old piano, hammers were cracked so I crazy glued them together! It worked for a while. Then I saw a used Yamaha studio being wheeled into my music shop, it looked new. The owner looked it over and said how about $2000 for it. I couldn't believe it. So for the past 10 years I have a beautiful piano with a wonderful tone. Probably needs tuning so if you're ever on the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia let me know!
I lived in Sheffield very near the pits and it was a very depressing time for the city. The city has diversified and rebounded. That was one of many reasons I chose to immigrated to Florida USA as the employment opportunities in that area at that time were bad. My Dad was made redundant and chose to move to the USA with my mom who never worked , they could not afford to live and not work and be too old to get a job at 50. Both got jobs in the USA and it worked out. You both remind me of how my parents marriage was. My mom passed away over here 13 years ago and is forever missed.
It’s funny how couples really do remember things differently. It happens to Dave and myself. See you proved me right you two sit down and boom the time has passed. Take care.
@ there are only five I really follow regularly. Yours is the only daily one I watch the others are two or three times or weekly. I truly enjoy having you two pop in daily it’s like a visit. I use to watch a lot more channels but my life can be busy so I pick and choose who I really want to watch and you and Pat are top of my list along with the others I mentioned. Have a lovely day.
Hi Trevor and Pat - I must Say You Look Very Pretty Pat With Your Lovely Colour Top - Great Chat Trevor and Pat - Thanks - Enjoy Your Trip Away and Take Care To You Both
I like the top you're wearing Pat, the colours really suit you... you co-ordinate with the kitchen 😊 Have a lovely time both of you, I'm sure you will enjoy Shibden Park... it's very interesting. I know the hotel very well, but we've never stayed there so I will be interested in your review Trevor! 😄
Thank you Mary, Tracey bought it for me for Christmas. Shibden park was lovely, and so far we are enjoying this hotel. It's a very famous hotel too. Last Tango IN Halifax was filmed here, and The Beatles stayed here in 1964.
@trevorpat-lifeontherun Shibden is a stone's throw away Halifax is famous for Sally Wainwright's TV series, I believe they are filming her latest series now somewhere... you never know it might be somewhere close by? 😁
👋🏻👋🏻👍👍. I bet the piano incident you had has been recalled many times over the years by neighbours who heard the strange sound when the piano landed flat on its back at the edge of the road 😃🤣😃. Take care, hope you are enjoying your time away. Judy💕💕🍷🍷
That piano didnt start the miners strike did it? I bet the air was blue when it did a somersault. There are some very talented people out there who cannot teach you something that you have to feel when producing a piece of repaired wood or french polishing, Have a really good trip.

I am sitting on the balcony in Tenerife listening to your vlog. I love heating how you started learning about pianos. Enjoy your trip away ❤️
That sounds like the perfect way to enjoy the vlog! I'm glad you're enjoying the piano journey. Tenerife must be beautiful this time of year!
Gosh, I’d love to see that piano shop of Melvyn’s.
I remember going to Harrod’s and seeing the beautiful piano’s in their music department.
Your the second person to say that. I think I will contact Melvin and see if it's possible.
@ yes please…
Hi Trev and Pat,
Could you go to Melvyn's place and do a tour of the pianos? That would make a great video and you could play a few tunes for us.🎹👍
Our viewers don't seem interested in pianos, or I would, it's a good idea.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun They will be when you knock out a few tunes.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherunI’m interested so that’s 2 people!
Have a lovely stay in the hotel....enjoy your trip x
Thank you Julie. The food is fantastic.

From pits to palm trees-talk about a glow-up Lorraine! Your parents made a brave move, and it sounds like it paid off in sunshine and opportunity!
@trevorpat-lifeontherun I dident see it that way..lol. i would loved to have lived in yorkshire as well. It's a beautiful county.

Glad it's not just us Debbie!
Is that really how it is with you, because I get bored with a lot of videos I watch.

The case of the cursed piano!!! Ha ha!! Be a good film that! Have a safe journey and see you tomorrow, bye!!
Never thought of that Mary. Ha ha
Hi, maybe it was cursed! Have a great night away. Take care. xx
Oh, we believed it was at the time.
Lovely hotel, this.

Thatcher started the miners strike Sandra.
You can imagine what I said to that flying piano.
Yes, and Pat was one of them, don't let her kid you.
@trevorpat-lifeontherun The word Thatcher is not uttered in this house not living and working in the docks.
Now you've brought it up, thank you Trevor for blowing your nose off camera. Not always the nicest thing to see.
Yes, I need to pull the camera off Pat when she does it, the trouble is, she is always at it.
Hi from new zealand
Hi Jane. Xx
