    for me it is always great to look inside a piano. I often had this view if the piano tuner plays with the strings :)
    but I always forget to take pictures. Next year I had to remember me.
    Thank you for this interesting peek into this intrument. Have a nice holliday season

    We used to have a blind piano tuner. I would drive and go get him and take him back home. Fascinating to watch him work. Merry Christmas!

    This is such a wonderful, heartwarming post. Memories of piano tuners, self tuning (highly DO NOT recommend, smile), moving numerous pianos over the years....& the one currently in my garage, awaiting my decision. Blessings this Christmas Season.

    The colours in the piano give the photos a real old time feel. I've never seen a piano tuned before. I use an electronic guitar tuner but pianos look way more complex.

    I didn't realise it was so technical these days! I went to school with someone who could tune pianos by ear.
