The Flying Tuner

Post by NewAge »

I found this rather interesting and unusual.
This tuner/tech in addition to his work has another passion. Ultralight aviation.
He's an American, and has been located in a very pleasant region of SW France for the last 15 years. Not surprisingly throughout the year (weather permitting) he combines business with pleasure and flies himself between tuning appointments. Here he feeds the coordinates of his first four clients into his GPS flight-plan, and off he goes.
The first piano is a Pleyel, I can't identify the 2nd.

Good life for some....... :D
I was playing the piano in a zoo, when the elephant burst into tears. I said, "Don't you recognize the tune?" He replied, "No, I recognize the ivories!"
