• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Welcome to September 2021.

Yesterday, 3 September 2021, my father (who adopted me at the age of 13) passed away in hospital.

May light perpetual shine upon him and may he rest in peace.

Im sorry, be filled with God’s comfort. And may Jesus be your light in darkness.

How are you Graham? Missing your posts and your music on your new piano. I had my Kemble tuned today. :)

Hiya.
Thanks for the post and for the prayers.
I came back from Norfolk yesterday. It's been a very busy week trying to sort everything out.
I now have a date for the funeral and have been having a chat with the rector at the local church to sort out an order of service.
Came home to receive lots of cards including one from the hospital chaplaincy.

Question to any and all, why do piano keys stick on older units?
Not being played and no doubt full of dust. The strings get full of dust also. :)
It may be a problem with the tabs internally, or a pencil stuck inside, even honey etc.
Anything can happen to pianos ...

Oh! I suppose that would explain why about half of the keys don't have a strong note then and most of those don't even want to bounce back up. I suppose we are talking about detailed work a professional alone would qualify for?

I would always take off the front of the piano and have a look to see if there is an easy answer. and then, yes a professional to put it right, give a quote on any maintenance work required and tuning. Occasionally a 'viking funeral' is the kindest answer and an investment in a new instrument. :)

Yes, I suspect past being ready, although this one (my late Mother's) is one those 'player pianos' with a few dozen selections on rolls. I noticed they don't bring all that much on the web. Ordinarily, do these also qualify as a pricey piece of equipment to service?

I can ask my daughter Christine, I think she has one at her music academy. She collects instruments. :)

To receive the food of Your Holy Word.
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness,
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith.
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory.'

It's 82 right now in Las Vegas---it's the start of Autumn now!!
We are well into Autumn, in the UK with a lawn full of leaves. Apples on our trees and a lovely sun that isn't too hot. :)
