I have never in my life as a musician had such a wonderful piano tuner. Mr. Coltharp is very careful to tune all the keys and then goes over the complete keyboard again and again gently nursing the tones completely. It is a joy to have him come each time and listen to his corrections and tuning. I started playing cello at age 7 with my professional cellist mother as my teacher, later I attended a conservatory of music , then started my professional career in a number of symphony orchestras. Now I play the piano instead for recreation and remembrance. Soon I will be 90 years of age and the piano is my companion. Now you know why I appreciate Mr. Coltharp's visits and accomplishments.
