The piano at the Center was acting up when I played my Christmas program a couple weeks ago, so I called Dale Skerhutt about it. He left a message recommending something I could try, but when I went to try it, the piano was absolutely fine. Both keys played.
Fast forward to today, getting ready for the recital. I thought I’d check them again, just to be sure. Neither would play. We are talking about a and c above middle c, so they are used a lot. Scott Jensen showed up with Joseph for the recital and he looked at it, but there wasn’t anything he could do. So he helped me go home and haul my keyboard over, while the audience just sat and waited. We actually only started 5 minutes late, so it wasn’t too big of a deal. And most of the songs were very short, so we were done with all 10 students in less than a half hour.
But what good is a beautiful grand piano when it won’t play when you need it???? Grrrrrrr!!!
Ugh! That sounds stressful. I’m glad you could figure out a solution.
Me too. Glad I own that keyboard, even if it is heavy!
