Jack the Piano Tuner

Remember the badly bent pedals that we corrected on that piano? Our work was not done yet……today we installed them back on the piano and look…… how different they are now! Polished and sealed, shiny like new, ready for Christmas party!

Many people are heart breaking seeing their beloved piano becoming tired and aged both performance wise and cosmetic wise. But, you don’t have to! A quality piano can always be restored and renewed and revitalize!

Seen such pedals pointing at you? That’s what happens when you try to save some money and get the house moving guys to move your piano As Well……not worth it!
It takes a big vice and a gum nut with some elbow grease to make them straight again.

Looking back on the Clayderman Brisbane concert last month, there is something I want to say about this man. Not about the piano that I had to tune right before the dress rehearsal from A443 to A440, but I was struck by the fact that this man, being THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PIANIST IN THE WORLD (a Guinness World Record holder for record sales), with a successful performance career spanning nearly five decades, remains so humble.

Not long after I finished tuning, he walked on the stage with a few people around him, but instead of sitting down to play the piano, he started preparing his work station, from taping down positions of piano stool and microphone, covering the stool with a big dark grey towel, setting the position of various props, to wiping down the keyboard and piano cover and piano body with a white towel……about 20 minutes detailed work all by himself, always with a smile on his face when approached by others, as if this was his concert of a lifetime……all these reminds me of some artists I worked for who are miles from Richard’s success yet walked around the stage as if the whole universe revolves around them.

After rehearsal, I walked up to see if the piano needed any extra attention, Richard gave me a thumbs up saying it’s all good, then took out a “DO NOT TOUCH“ sign and put it on the music shelf.

An amazing human being!

Like cello? Check this out! And be quick...Piano is tuned. Dressed rehearsal is done. It’s all set for Thursday night.

Enjoy the afternoon concert as much as my little boy playing the percussion at the back! Although we would really like to see more first violinists up on the stage, it’s a sheer pleasure to just make music together and enjoy......what a wonderful gift from God!
