As you know, a piano needs frequent adjustments to work well. There are many pianos in Palestine but there is not anybody qualified to fix it except one man from Jerusalem who is now old and tired of the hassles of travelling here. Thus, Palestinians are depending from voluntary piano tuners' intermittent stays.
Organized with the associations “Music Fund” from Belgium and "Nablus the Culture" from Palestine, the idea is to train two persons during a year. The workshop will be established in Nablus in the north of the Westbank.

Piano works in Ramallah

Today, I came back to Ramallah to tune pianos. The travel was something for me... I don’t want to take any kind of political position but I realize the disarray of Palestinian people when they are travelling from one city to another. For example in Nablus, after to be checked like terrorists at the border of the city, they have to go through so many beautiful areas which were theirs...

After two piano tunes in Al Kamandjâti, I went to the Al Amari refugee camp.

After that, I tuned one more piano in Al Kamandjâti before to have a rest.
