(1573) MUSIC AND ME (Aug. 16, 2018) D. BANTIGUE -- PIANO TUNER FROM PHILIPPINES

D. BANTIGUE --

PIANO TUNER FROM

PHILIPPINES

From Dec. 12-13, 2001, I tuned and repaired 4 pianos at I Love Music school. The owner of the music school Tua Tmetchul jokingly told me, "So you know how to fix and tune a piano. If I have known you can do that earlier, I shouldn't hired piano tuners from Philippines where I have pay for their airfare, accommodation and service fee."

Ma'am Tua Tmetchul is one of Amante Caballero's employer when he is working at Airai View Hotel.

 Earlier this year, March 09, 2018, I tuned the piano of Ngirai Tmetchul, her son, while teaching Ngirai's daughter Yars piano. I come to their house 2 hours earlier to tune the piano and cancel the lessons.

 Ngirai and his wife left for a few hours and while tuning the piano, I noticed the dates of piano tuning by a tuner from Philippines D. Bantigue. The dates are Oct. 11, 1990; Aug. 28, 1991; Sept. 07, 1992; Oct. 11, 1994; Jan. 03, 1995; Sept. 23, 2004 and my tuning date--March 02, 2018.
