I'm laughing out loud as I read. I got a call last week from a dealer that is delivering a new grand piano to a customer right out of the crate. And this is no cheap PSO, it's a high end Japanese brand. He told me the action won't even be unlocked from shipping. His argument was why should we prep it here when you are going to have to prep it again in the home? (???!!!) Chris Christopher D. Purdy R.P.T.
