A review by lory_enterenchanted
The Forest of Wool and Steel by Natsu Miyashita

emotional hopeful reflective

3.5

This story can only really be recommended for those with some interest in pianos and music. Some nice, atmospheric writing, but the main character's obsession with his vocation as a piano tuner overwhelms everything else; his background and relationships are only sketchily hinted at, and the actual process of tuning remains rather vague and mystical. 

I never imagined that a tuner could alter the sound of a piano so extremely, and by the end I started to be skeptical about these claims. They seemed exaggerated.
