A little more tuneful

You may have read my post back in October about my beautiful new-to-me free piano. The only flaw in my plan for a free piano was that it needed tuning, and that isn’t free or even cheap!

I knew that there was no spare money for piano tuning, any more than there had been for the piano itself. Then I had an idea, and a little hope. I sent out some emails offering a trade of services and was thrilled to hear back from Kaz.

Kaz is a piano tuner based in Manotick, which isn’t terribly far from us, who didn’t have a web site.

We traded services, and now I have a lovely tuned and repaired piano and Kaz has a website!

Now I have no excuse not to practice!

I love to know what you think so please rate my post or leave me a comment. If you really liked this post maybe you would consider sharing it. Thank you.

  8. I’ll be singing with Kaz on Sunday. The Manotick Brass are playing at Knox Presbyterian in Manotick (6:30 if you’d like to join us!) and our choir is singing a Canata. Kaz is very nice, he tunes our church pianos, too, even the badly designed one that can’t seem to hold a tune in a bucket he can usually convince to behave for at least a little while. And he plays trumpet very well, too.
