This is the latest piano to grace the shop. I think there is suppose to be some secrecy about this. Not sure how you keep a secret about a 9'6" concert grand. Actually we all will be glad to have it gone and out of the way. This is not a Steinway, but a Bosendorfer, Austrian made. And so shiny we are all afraid of scratching it. Rhys and I covered it with blankets yesterday because we were sure we going to bump into it with something.
But it has been a good week at the shop, for me, at least. Somehow I seem to manage to keep straight what pianos we have, what we need to order, and deadlines. Considering I am the worst person in the world at note keeping, this is pretty amazing. I've realized that if I do make notes, they are either so cryptic I don't understand them, or I can't read my own handwriting. I do greatly admire good note keepers, but some how it's just not in my personal makeup. It was decided I was no longer the "FNG", which I will leave up to your imagination as to what that stands for. I have taken over the job of cleaning the espresso machine weekly. I think I may be able to add barista to my resume soon, I can now crank out an espresso in short order. I made one this afternoon for a new Fedex delivery guy. Not every stop on his route that will do that.
