I have been receiving some calls for urgent piano servicing. However, none of the call is as urgent as this one:
~11am (when I was working on a piano), the caller stated that:
1. Ms. Sophie Mayuko Vetter, the concert pianist, would be performing in a mini-concert 6pm the same day
2. she was saying there were some problems with the piano
3. she specified that she wanted me to come.
It was ~2pm when I arrived the venue. Ms. Sophie informed me that she found the chords did not sound right and there was some weird noise. To put it simply, the piano is out of tune.
Out-of-tune-piano is the worst disaster and a persisting problems for pianists. Some pianists will state in his contract that tuning has to be done for every concert session and must be done on the day of performance. Thus there is a saying among the pianist that the only time he is not using an out-of-tuned-piano is in the concert.
