So, today I was meeting my seller client at a new listing, and I dropped by early to make sure we were ready for prime time - we go on the market this weekend.
And then I heard it. A very low tone, like a few octaves below middle C. It sounded just like a newbie tuba student practicing long tones.
Yikes! This is clearly not what anyone I know would want as an upstairs neighbor!
But after about fifteen minutes, I decided it was something other than a musical instrument. As a musician, I remember practicing long tones, and I've never known anyone to play the same note over and over for more a very short time. This sounded more like moaning plumbing, or perhaps furniture being slowly dragged across a rugless floor. And it did finally stop.
I'll be back tomorrow morning to put the finishing touches - staging the fridge, adding a couple of rolls of TP and cleaning off some debris on the balcony.
If the "practicing" starts up again, do I investigate? Should I bribe the budding young tuba-ist to practice up on the roof terrace for the duration of my Open House, or should I disclose prospective buyers that a rookie tuba player lives upstairs and practices enough to be aspiring to play principle in the National Symphony?
What would you do? OK! Be honest here!
