Description
Tiny mark to upper page edges. No other inscriptions or marks. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards, small bump to bottom edge near spine and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or torn or creased. 176pp. The lifetime's experience of a tuner-technician is here placed at the disposal of everyone concerned with pianos. A brief history of the piano is followed by advice on choosing a new instrument or assessing a second-hand one, and on caring for it in the home. There is a complete chapter on judging piano tone. Then follows a more detailed instruction manual including step-by-step instructions for the complete workshop overhaul of the piano.
