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.

Jerusalem tour

Today, I had to meet John Orfali again in Jerusalem to collect some pianos supplies. John is the piano tuner who was coming in Ramallah and Nablus. Now I can imagine how it is difficult for him to work after a travel like Jerusalem to Nablus. In a bad checkpoint day you could easily spend 6 hours for the journey... So when the weather is very hot and you have also to tune pianos...

After recover the supplies, I took advantage of my free time to visit the city.

5 minutes walk and the city is totally different
