Notes of a Piano Tuner

A privileged view of the idiosyncrasies of human nature as the author travels on her daily rounds from city concert halls to one-room churches on dirt roads– Where music is the common language of rich and poor, young and old, simple and sophisticated, the piano tuner wrests harmonious performances from glossy nine-foot Steinways, mouse-infested spinets, and battered uprights– Ministering to her clientele and their pianos like an old-fashioned country doctor, author Denele Campbell encounters unforgettable personalities, instruments that have seen better days, and the breathtaking hills and narrow valleys of the unspoiled Ozark countryside she travels– Music lovers will be enchanted by this quiet book
