Week 3

  My third day of work experience has come and gone already. It started off as usual. I came into the shop at 9.55 and started on my tasks of dusting the pianos, sweeping the floors cleaning the practice rooms etc. I was then asked to tune the violins. I had never done this before so I enjoyed learning this new skill. My supervisor explained to me the name of each string and how to tune it with the tuner. He assured me that it was ok if I accidently broke a string as it was common but luckily that didn't happen.It was difficult at first because I had only ever tuned guitar before this.  The problem I found with it was that it was very easy to  unravel the string completely leaving you back at square one and having to start all over again. However soon enough I got the hang of it and it became a lot easier.  The last task I was asked to do was to put away a box of stock on the shelves. The box of stock contained all different products so it was slightly time consuming but I got it done eventually.
