Merry Christmas

Just a note to wish customers, colleagues, friends and family all the best for Christmas and the New Year.

As some of you may already know from previous posts, I'm very fond of the humour of the famous pianist Victor Borge, but I couldn't find any specifically Christmas-related sketches by him. However, he is famous for this quote:

"Santa Claus has the right idea - visit people once a year."

Now despite his pianistic talent Mr Borge was not, as far as I know, ever a piano tuner. If he had been, he might have disagreed with this statement - in fact it's a good idea to have your piano tuned at least once a year to keep the tuning in good order, but I have customers who prefer more regular tunings to keep their piano in top condition all the time. So I am always very delighted to visit whenever you need me!

In any case, I thought it might be fun to have a look at Victor Borge's attempt here to conduct the Boston Symphony Orchestra back in 1986 - and I hope you all have an enjoyable festive season.
