abstract:The Piano Tuner is a historical novel by Daniel Mason, set in British India and Burma. It was first published in 2002 when Mason was 26 and was his first novel.
Alan, the great pianotuner, in his infinite but indirect wisdom, kept money market rates so low that the banks could arbitrage money and dig themselves out of their management-made mud slides.
But in 1962, during a seven-week tour of the Soviet Union, an ingenious pianotuner gave me the chance to experience what having more than one piano at one's disposal might be like.
