JOHN LANE PIANO SERVICE

WE HAD RECEIVED AN OLDER SPINET PIANO FROM A FRIEND THAT WAS IN DESPERATE NEED OF A TUNING. I HAD A BIT OF A PROBLEM ORIGINALLY TRYING TO CONNECT UP WITH MR. LANE AS HE WAS EITHER OUT OF TOWN, I WAS BUSY, I HAD FORGOTTEN OR WHATEVER. WHEN WE DID FINALLY GET TOGETHER, HE WAS A BIT LATE IN ARRIVING, BUT ONCE HE BEGAN TO WORK ON THE PIANO, ALL OF THOSE ORIGINAL PROBLEMS DISAPPEARED. HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND TOOK HIS WORK VERY SERIOUSLY. HE WAS DRESSED WELL AND WAS WELL-GROOMED. HE HAD GOOD MANNERS WHEN TALKING WITH MY YOUNG CHILDREN WHO WERE EXTREMELY CURIOUS ABOUT HIS WORK. HE TOOK RATHER A LONG TIME TO TUNE THE PIANO, BUT THAT WASN'T A SURPRISE CONSIDERING THAT IT HADN'T BEEN TUNED IN 20 YEARS! HE DIDN'T GIVE ME AN INITIAL PRICE QUOTE, NOR AN ORIGINAL TIME QUOTE SO I WAS A BIT APPREHENSIVE AT THE END TO FIND OUT WHAT THE FINAL BILL WOULD BE. I ALSO HAD NO IDEA JUST HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE, SO I WAS A BIT ANXIOUS FOR HIM TO FINISH SO THAT I COULD GET MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL.
