    The first piano tuner we had in 1974 was an elderly gentleman in his 80's. He would regale us with ragtime and Tin Pan Alley tunes when the piano was ready and the whole family would gather 'round to listen. I know that feeling of enjoying the good music afterwards!
    Thank you for another lovely video putting a piano to rights! 💗

    I lost my piano in the '94 Northridge quake. I had use of one shortly after my husband's uncle passed away in 2011, before Uncle's piano got moved to USC (He left it to the music dept in his will, and we had to coordinate the physical transfer of property). My son got to hear his mommy play what little I could remember, and I taught him some basic music theory. I love seeing your tuning videos, because it helps me remember happy things from my own childhood.

    My parents bought a piano in 1965. One of the 3 strings of one of the Ds always would slip down to a B within a day or two. The rest of the piano was kept in good tune (as far as I know, until I moved out). My sister has it now (I have my own) and I'm sure it still slips. Seeing how easy it is to fix, I can't understand why no tuna has ever done so.

    that's similar to how you'd do it on a string instrument with pegs, since it's just wood against wood, and they're tapered, you can push them in while tuning to get them to stick, or use peg drops, which is basically sticky stuff in a bottle that you can put on pegs to get them to stick
