Jim's original "10 best reasons to call me for a piano tuning"

Disclosure: I moved to New Mexico from New York in 2008, and these "top ten" gave many folks a chuckle.  So rather than discard them forever, they appear here for your entertainment!  Enjoy!

1. You want your piano tuned by someone who has been doing it for over 30 years.

2. You want your piano tuned by someone who has been playing piano professsionally for his whole life.

3. You have never had your piano tuned by someone who adjusts the price according to your zip code. (really?)

4. You are absolutely in love with your piano and want your piano tuned by someone with that same deep affection. (I do, I do!)

5. Your piano has been too long ignored and you are too embarrassed to call your last tuner for fear of chastisement and ridicule. (Yikes!)

6. Your piano just doesn't sound right since you cranked up the old swamp-cooler. (Being from New York I just recently found out what a swamp-cooler is...)

7. OK, you don't have a piano, but you just want to hear my New York accent. (what's a "New York" accent?)

8. You'd like Jim to come by and entertain while you enjoy a ranchero-burger. (red or green?)

9. You want to show me more of that southwest Albuquerque hospitality. Maybe a biscochito. (I LOVE my new home town!)

10. You want your piano to sound & play its very best!   (Should be #1!) 

Jim's second list of "10 best reasons to contact Jim for a piano tuning"

Ok so I don't discard anything.  Call me a hoarder!  I guess I can't resist coming up with new silly reasons to contact Jim for a tuning.

 

1.) You want your piano tuned by someone with...40 years experience! (Yes it's true, I started with the Baldwin company back in 1978.)

2.) You like the idea of a piano tuner who actually plays piano professionally.

3.) You want the best possible price on a tuning, by someone who charges according to zip (really?  yes it's true!)

4.) Because the last time you had your piano tuned, Hillary's husband was the President.

5.) You heard East-coasters with pony tails made the best tuners (a misconception! but if that's what you think I'm happy to oblige!)

6.) Your piano just hasn't sounded right since that last haboob (this New Yorker is ALL smart now, I actually know what a haboob is!)

7.) You really want your piano tuned by someone who recently tuned for "The Piano Guys" concert at Kiva Auditorium (no really it's true!)

8.) Because I can serve up a piano tuning with either red, green or Christmas. Really. I can.

9.) Because after each tuning you get about 90 seconds of pure New York piano bar, served up from someone with over 25 years experience as a Long Island lounge lizard.

10.) You want your piano to sound & play its very best!  (Should be #1!)
