Description

The title has piano tuning in it, but the scope can also be doing things like sharing piano photos and tuning equipment photos, sharing things about piano music you like to play and where to find sheet music, recordings, piano playing styles and favorite web sites related to pianos and playing.

Would also be great to hear your playing, so upload a recording if you like.


thanks
Neil
